Fabrice Champion passed away

At the very last day of November, we learned that Fabrice Champion, sangha member who lived close to Dechen Chöling, has died in Peru. He was traveling around South America by himself on his wheelchair.

The director of Shambhala Europe, Chris Montone, wrote:  “Our Shambhala brother, Fabrice Champion, was attending a shamanistic healing centre and passed away during a healing ceremony. His family is arranging for his body to be returned to France. We will send further details when the situation is clearer. Please hold Fabrice, this fearless warrior, his family and all who are close to him, in your hearts and practice.”

Fabrice was scheduled to teach Dharma Art in May 2012 with Herb Elsky at DCL. He was 39 years old. Dechen Chöling offered a sukhavati on December 1st.

Shastri Catherine Eveillard wrote: “Fabrice a été et restera un poète volant, un magnifique héros de Shambhala, le coeur brisé et plein d’élan et de passion. Pensons à lui” (“Fabrice was and will always remain a flying poet, a great Shambhala hero, brokenhearted and full of character and passion. Let’s think of him.”).
