The Venerable Lama Chimé Namgyal
Prayer for the Swift Rebirth of Lama Chimed
Om Swasti
Dharmakaya Buddha Amitabha, Sambhogakaya Buddha Avalokiteshvara and Nirmanakaya Buddha Padmasambhava yab yum, by your power,
May the reincarnation of the hidden yogi Lama Pal Zang Gyal Chog manifest quickly, appearing for the temporal and ultimate benefit of sentient beings.
Cho ku nang tha long ku chen re zig
Tul ku pad jung yab yum thug ja'i thu
Be la pal zang gyal chog yang srid gar
Ten dor phen de don du myurchar sho myur
Written at the request of many devoted students by the Nyingma Khenpo Shri, at Pema Samye Ling, on the day Buddha descended from the god realm.

Lama Chimed passed into parinirvana at 3:00 in West Palm Beach.
The Venerable Khenpos and Ani Lorraine were with him.
Dear Sangha,
We thank you for all your prayers.
Ven. Lama Chimed Namgyal Rinpoche entered into Parinirvana today with all the signs of a great practitioner. He continues to hold the meditation posture (Thug dam) as well as a fresh and youthful complexion.
The entire process and transition was beautiful beyond words.
He had no hope - no fear.
Calm and peaceful from the beginning till his passing.
His example is inspiring and promising for all Dharma practitioners.
Ven. Lama Chimed Namgyal was very grateful and expressed appreciation to each and every one.
We encourage you to please continue the mantra of Vajrasattva, Guru Rinpoche, Amitabha, Tara and Chenrezig during this time.
(funeral data omitted)
With sincere best wishes, yours in the Dharma.
Ven. Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche and Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche
