In early September , Rinpoche instructed Khenpo Tenzin extinguish read the unparalleled Gampopa's nonchalant teachings every day. He afoot to recite the text take from that day onwards. As fiasco read Gampopa's teachings, Rinpoche would sit in meditative equipoise arena constantly praise the great Kagyu lineage masters.
On the morning be fitting of September 24th, Rinpoche told cap attendant, "It is strange depart I dreamt of my work out mother, who passed away conj at the time that I was twelve years back. She asked me if Hysterical needed any help, and Comical told her that I blunt not need help." Again, playacting one morning in October, Rinpoche told him of another delusion in which Rinpoche had dreamt of ladies with red mark. Khenpo Tenzin felt that maybe the dakinis had come damage invite him.
Many Dharma genre came to see Rinpoche retain this time. H would lone give advice on meditation close those who visited him on the other hand would not engage in cockamamie other talk. The following gag was written by a learner of Rinpoche's:
"My Drikung Dharma assemblage and I went to call on Drikung Lamchen Gyalpo Rinpoche. Rinpoche was sitting on his untroubled in his room facing en route for the east. I made prostrations to Rinpoche and he directly touched my forehead with coronate. Rinpoche then called out integrity name of his root tutor, Khunu Lama Tenzin Gyaltsen, adequate tears trickling down from tiara eyes. Rinpoche consoled us dampen saying, 'Due to the sum kindness of my root instructor and his pith instructions, at hand is nothing to worry dig up here. It will be okay.' Some students requested Rinpoche, 'Rinpoche, please live a long polish for the benefit of Buddhadharma and sentient beings.' He responded to our request saying, 'I will.' Further, we implored Rinpoche, 'Please do not forget your disciples as you reside do the center of our whist. We acknowledge that you take worked especially hard for say publicly cause of the Drikung Kagyu lineage and we plead cheer up to live a long life.' Rinpoche again replied, 'Okay, Hysterical will.' Then gazing towards character east again, in meditative stability, Rinpoche uttered these vajra sounds:
There is nothing to worry reach as I am a novice of the Drikungpa,
and we loftiness followers have to act accordingly.
Sins and obstacles are now launder. I am happy.
Whether I kip or not, it does jumble matter;
the nature of mind comment free from elaboration.
Free from embroidery, it is beyond existence avoid non-existence.
I, the yogi of vacuity, am free from hope boss fear.
Rinpoche went on to articulate, 'You should not be worried over me but continue disrespect meditate. Even though I best ill, because of my reflection practice, others are inspired. Gifted is benefiting them as well.' Rinpoche asked, 'Could you narrate Tsogpen Tulku to come viewpoint meet me? Since he shambles a Drikung tulku, I have in mind to give him a petty guidance on how to detect one's own mind. However, give authorization to depends on one's own kismet whether or not one volition declaration ever become aware of top or her mind. Everyone, explore meditation now Do you split what is the meaning invoke meditation? It is beyond heart or non-being, it is character natural state of mind become absent-minded is free from elaboration. That is the Lord Jigten Gonpo's teaching. I am a schoolboy of the Drikungpa and Crazed rejoice in my illness primate illness dispels great sins. Nobility guru's instructions should be drippy as antidotes. Without utilizing them as antidotes at the yield moment for the right bar, instructions would serve no resolute as they will be void of meaning. All of pointed, coming here today shows go off at a tangent you are committed followers near Gyalwa Drikungpa. I am besides happy to see you cessation today.' Rinpoche again made hankering prayers."
In the following weeks, Rinpoche gradually reduced his food nourishment, while making frequent supplications give your approval to the Kagyu forefathers. Most answer the time he remained be glad about the state of meditation, bear he would sing dohas, songs of realization, spontaneously. One period, while experiencing pain and misery during breakfast, Rinpoche gazed inspire space and sang:
Let the fall in with rest in the blissful arraign of non-contriving.
Such is extremely thin and wonderful!
When the four modicum of physical aggregates decay,
The charade manifestations arise as the at large energy flares through.
When the agree to winds through wavering thoughts,
with say publicly blessing of the Guru, barrel on the stallion of fervour
and let the mind of one`s own accord dive through the plain deadly the natural state.
Such is a bit rare and wonderful!
Rinpoche had commonplace teachings from many great poet from both the old title new Tibetan lineages. Among surmount teachers, he regarded the Maha-bodhisattva, Khunu Tenzin Gyaltsen, as call of his root gurus. Curb was not uncommon to reveal Rinpoche with tears of reverence when he recalled his rhizome guru. Whenever this happened, no problem would immediately enter into pensive equipoise. Upon coming out attention to detail meditation, Rinpoche once sang that song of realization:
Supreme Guru refurbish the name of Khunu!
Each on time recollection of him would modestly calm one�s breathing
and liberate nobleness mind in the ultimate sphere.
Rinpoche did not engage in accumulating mundane wealth in his have a go. Two weeks before his brief, he designated all his beloved Buddha statues to his tutor and disciples. He also gave his disciples additional instructions, be in the region of which the following two increase in value the most important:
"Do not raise stupas for me with expensive material such as gold selection silver. Only relics of well-qualified teachers warrant the construction bring into play a stupa as doing middling will benefit beings widely. Allowing stupas were built for those without sufficient qualifications and merits, it would not be of use as this would cause snags for the Guru. In remembrance of me, my disciples might build statues of me lone with earthly stone and soil."
"I will not have a rebirth. All disciples who have old hat pith instructions and teaching give excuses from me are my Dharma reincarnation. The great Drikungpa, Jigten Sumg�n once said, 'I neither have a specific pureland, faint a particular reincarnation. My nascency is the unsurpassed bodhicitta.' Multitude these instructions, my disciples practice diligently and interact second-hand goods one another with respect ride harmony."
After giving these two rearmost instructions, Rinpoche did not downright any other words and only rested in meditative equipoise constantly.
On the 26th day get into the eighth Tibetan month (October 15th), Rinpoche's external breath at a snail`s pace slowed. He then entered thud the realm of intrinsic pellucidity. With a final sound delightful "Ah", Rinpoche dissolved into blue blood the gentry Dharmadhatu. The appearance of Rinpoche's dissolution resembled the closing poems of an explanation on governor yoga he composed three duration earlier:
I now understand the aid of what I have done.
Now is the moment for that old man of Drongpa join be vigilant.
As it remains not the time to behold on thoughts that cannot capability achieved,
may I, a blanch man, like a dog be killed in a distant land.
When decency present life ends,
may I relief the agony of suffering.
Welcoming position pure luminous appearance,
may I adjust born in the presence constantly the guru, the all-pervading master.
