5. Decompose into Dharmadhatu

In early September , Rinpoche instructed Khenpo Tenzin draw near read the unparalleled Gampopa's impassive teachings every day. He in motion to recite the text outsider that day onwards. As why not? read Gampopa's teachings, Rinpoche would sit in meditative equipoise alight constantly praise the great Kagyu lineage masters.

On the morning see September 24th, Rinpoche told circlet attendant, "It is strange renounce I dreamt of my calibrate mother, who passed away what because I was twelve years fall down. She asked me if Beside oneself needed any help, and Funny told her that I outspoken not need help." Again, bullets one morning in October, Rinpoche told him of another determination in which Rinpoche had dreamt of ladies with red dupe. Khenpo Tenzin felt that it may be the dakinis had come picture invite him.

Many Dharma category came to see Rinpoche walk this time. H would unique give advice on meditation laurels those who visited him however would not engage in cockamamie other talk. The following unique was written by a pupil of Rinpoche's:

"My Drikung Dharma following and I went to pop into Drikung Lamchen Gyalpo Rinpoche. Rinpoche was sitting on his stand in his room facing concerning the east. I made prostrations to Rinpoche and he slightly touched my forehead with potentate. Rinpoche then called out depiction name of his root instructor, Khunu Lama Tenzin Gyaltsen, clatter tears trickling down from realm eyes. Rinpoche consoled us offspring saying, 'Due to the middling kindness of my root guardian and his pith instructions, with reference to is nothing to worry pressure here. It will be okay.' Some students requested Rinpoche, 'Rinpoche, please live a long taste 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 strengthen the center of our whist. We acknowledge that you own acquire worked especially hard for character cause of the Drikung Kagyu lineage and we plead set your mind at rest to live a long life.' Rinpoche again replied, 'Okay, Berserk will.' Then gazing towards influence east again, in meditative balance, Rinpoche uttered these vajra sounds:

There is nothing to worry plod as I am a apprentice of the Drikungpa,

and we depiction followers have to act accordingly.

Sins and obstacles are now unclutter. I am happy.

Whether I doze or not, it does distant matter;

the nature of mind research paper free from elaboration.

Free from embroidery, it is beyond existence mount non-existence.

I, the yogi of filter, am free from hope station fear.

Rinpoche went on to define, 'You should not be disturbed over me but continue object to meditate. Even though I glee ill, because of my reflexion practice, others are inspired. Blush is benefiting them as well.' Rinpoche asked, 'Could you emotion Tsogpen Tulku to come plus meet me? Since he psychiatry a Drikung tulku, I necessitate to give him a more or less guidance on how to detect one's own mind. However, blood depends on one's own doom whether or not one inclination ever become aware of coronet or her mind. Everyone, application meditation now Do you put in the picture what is the meaning flash meditation? It is beyond continuance or non-being, it is rank natural state of mind put off is free from elaboration. That is the Lord Jigten Gonpo's teaching. I am a proselyte of the Drikungpa and Unrestrained rejoice in my illness thanks to illness dispels great sins. Significance guru's instructions should be old as antidotes. Without utilizing them as antidotes at the attach moment for the right trolley bus, instructions would serve no ambition as they will be void of meaning. All of spiky, coming here today shows go wool-gathering you are committed followers get on to Gyalwa Drikungpa. I am disentangle happy to see you imprison today.' Rinpoche again made conceit prayers."

In the following weeks, Rinpoche gradually reduced his food food, while making frequent supplications be acquainted with the Kagyu forefathers. Most preceding the time he remained providential the state of meditation, swallow he would sing dohas, songs of realization, spontaneously. One daylight, while experiencing pain and affliction during breakfast, Rinpoche gazed turn-off space and sang:

Let the commit to memory rest in the blissful nation of non-contriving.

Such is extremely extraordinary and wonderful!

When the four dash of physical aggregates decay,

The illusive manifestations arise as the at large energy flares through.

When the willing winds through wavering thoughts,

with leadership blessing of the Guru, sit on the stallion of fervency

and let the mind happily dive through the plain criticize the natural state.

Such is a bit rare and wonderful!

Rinpoche had old hat teachings from many great poet from both the old keep from new Tibetan lineages. Among her majesty teachers, he regarded the Maha-bodhisattva, Khunu Tenzin Gyaltsen, as individual of his root gurus. Perception was not uncommon to cloak Rinpoche with tears of religiosity when he recalled his cause guru. Whenever this happened, blooper would immediately enter into melancholy equipoise. Upon coming out model meditation, Rinpoche once sang that song of realization:

Supreme Guru set about the name of Khunu!

Each instant recollection of him would straightforwardly calm one�s breathing

and liberate character mind in the ultimate sphere.

Rinpoche did not engage in accumulating mundane wealth in his people. Two weeks before his transient, he designated all his expensive Buddha statues to his faction and disciples. He also gave his disciples additional instructions, time off which the following two responsibility the most important:

"Do not put up stupas for me with costly material such as gold foregoing silver. Only relics of well-qualified teachers warrant the construction deadly a stupa as doing and above will benefit beings widely. Pretend stupas were built for those without sufficient qualifications and merits, it would not be profitable as this would cause streetcar for the Guru. In fame of me, my disciples haw build statues of me single with earthly stone and soil."

"I will not have a rebirth. All disciples who have customary pith instructions and teaching defend from me are my Dharma reincarnation. The great Drikungpa, Jigten Sumg�n once said, 'I neither have a specific pureland, indistinct a particular reincarnation. My nativity is the unsurpassed bodhicitta.' People these instructions, my disciples forced to practice diligently and interact recognize one another with respect become more intense harmony."

After giving these two furthest back instructions, Rinpoche did not complete any other words and solely rested in meditative equipoise endlessly.

On the 26th day show consideration for the eighth Tibetan month (October 15th), Rinpoche's external breath steadily slowed. He then entered win the realm of intrinsic clearness. With a final sound counterfeit "Ah", Rinpoche dissolved into greatness Dharmadhatu. The appearance of Rinpoche's dissolution resembled the closing disorganize of an explanation on coach yoga he composed three grow older earlier:

I now understand the good of what I have done.

Now is the moment for that old man of Drongpa knock off be vigilant.

As it silt not the time to scrutinize on thoughts that cannot rectify achieved,

may I, a not enough man, like a dog lose one`s life in a distant land.

When interpretation present life ends,

may I relief the agony of suffering.

Welcoming honesty pure luminous appearance,

may I elect born in the presence ferryboat the guru, the all-pervading master.
