Gangtok: Chief Minister PS Tamang has conveyed a condolence message on the demise of Rinpochey in New Delhi on Tuesday.

‘Kyabje Rinpoche entered the state of ‘Thugdam’, remaining in that state for seven days—an embodiment of Buddha Shakyamuni’s teaching on impermanence.Throughout his life, from studies to practices and teachings, Kyabje Rinpoche exemplified human values, service, and compassion’ said Chief Minister further.
