“By reflecting on death regularly one will be sincerely motivated to fearlessly continue on the path to liberation.”
-Bpoo Reusi Petdam’s 12 points of teachings

According to the Gregorian calendar, February 15, 2025 marks the eighth anniversary of Bpoo Reusi Petdam’s passing. However, traditionally, and more accurately, we use the lunar calendar to determine the precise date.

Bpoo Reusi Petdam passed away on the fourth day of the waning moon in the third month (magha). This year Bpoo Reusi’s commemoration falls on the 16th of February.

Bpoo Reusi Petdam was a sincere ascetic practitioner who profoundly taught in a direct way making things clear and simple. Bpoo Reusi strongly emphasized the importance of cultivating the Brahmavihāras (mettā kindness, karuṇā compassion, muditā rejoicing and upekkhā equanimity). These states of dwelling were the pillars of his practice and are the source of both conduct and meditation.

16 February 2025 is an auspicious time to reflect on Bpoo Reusi’s teachings, make offerings and to practice.
