Rigzin loved the outdoors. He loved hiking and trekking, but he especially loved mountain biking, and was off biking most weekends. Rigzin also loved playing the guitar and would (if circumstances allowed) practice every single day. He was very serious about learning about his Tibetan roots, which is why he came to study at RYI. He was an active volunteer for Shenpen and took it seriously to help many poor individuals in their lives. Everyone remembers Rigzin’s warm smile, and the kindness that radiated from it. Through this, everyone who met Rigzin felt safe and comfortable in his presence. With the big heart that he had, he was always available as a helping hand for many people, and would often go out his way to be there for another, no questions asked. Most people remember at least one thing that Rigzin did for them. In Rigzin, we found a wonderful friend and deeply miss him! Since Rigzin was a passionate Shenpen volunteer (Shenpen is Chokyi Nyima’s social work programme), Shenpen and friends feel it would be nice to give everyone the chance to donate to Shenpen to honor and continue his compassionate actions. A special donation link has been set up for paypal donations to Shenpen through the Shedrub Development Fund – the link is: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM46HKRAFK4NC
