Buddhist teachings
Chene Lhundup Rinpoche was bestowed many karma and terma teachings
by the late Holiness Dudjom and Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche in
all 4 Vajrayana traditions
Chene Lhundrup Rimpoche was a great luminary of Tibetan Buddhism.
One of his principle teachers, Polop Khen Rimpoche (1898-1967),
prophesied and encouraged him to spread world peace through Stupa
building all over the Country.
As a symbol of his wish to fulfill his teacher’s prophecy, Chene
Lhundrup Rimpoche himself traveled throughout many places and built
more than thirty stupas all over Bhutan as of now. The vision of
Chene lhendup could not met without a stupa in his own Monastery.
Financial constraint was the only key factor that kept him behind
so long. Now with the help of Khenpo Rigzin Wanghcuk ( the
newly appointed khenpo in Orgyen Chholing Monastery, Rimpoche
and khenpo Rigzin Wangchuk are in the process and plans of coming
up with the Parinirvana Stupa for his last wish to fulfill his root
teacher and all mother sentient beings near the main temple
in Tsheldang, Bhutan. The stupa is particularly good for overcoming
the obstacles for all one to nine moles according to Chinese and
Tibetan astrology.
As Late H.H Polop Khen Rimpoche he wrote, "Within the stupa, the
blessings of the teacher remain unchanging. The Buddha said whoever
sees the sight of it, feels the breeze near it will be liberated by
its touch, and hears the tinkling of the small bells around it,
would be liberated by the sound. Having seen a stupa, by reflecting
in one’s experience of it, one is liberated by recollection. May
these stupas become a supreme object of offering, liberating
whoever sees, touches and remember".
There are eight different types of stupas that have been built
according to Lord Buddha activities.
1. The Lotus Blossom Stupa at Lumbini,Nepal.
2. The Enlightenment Stupa at Bodhgaya,India.
3. The Stupa Of Turning Wheel Of Dharma at
Varanasi,India.
4. The Stupa of the Descent From a Heavenly Realm at
Shankasya,India.
5. The Great Miracle Stupa at Sravasti, India.
6. The Stupa of Reuniting the Sangha at Rajagriha,
India.
7. All-Victorious Stupa at Vaishali, India.
8. The Parinirvana Stupa at Kushinagar, India.
The construction of this the Parinirvana stupa in Orgyen Choeling
Monastery is a spiritual task dedicated to world peace. It measures
25 feet high and 12-feet width. The stupa will be made with
hand-placed stone blocks with concrete from outside. Stone carvings
adorn the bumpa vase in the center. Rimpoche himself, a specialist
in stupa making, and the entire members of Orgyen Chholing

Chene Lhendrup Rimpoche has long held plans to build a retreat
centre The centre will be constructed in an isolated area four
hours walk from Orgyen Choling Monastery, at Lingtang. The retreat
centre will be called Orgyen Kunzang Shedrup Choling. The practices
of the Longchen and Pema Lingpa lineage will be lead by Rimpoche in
the traditional three year, three month, three day retreat.
Currently there is no retreat centre in the vicinity, therefore all
monks must leave their monastery and teacher and go to another
district.
