In early September 2018, Rinpoche instructed Khenpo Tenzin to read the unparalleled Gampopa's collected teachings every day. He in motion to recite the text from go off at a tangent day onwards. As he read Gampopa's teachings, Rinpoche would sit in contemplative equipoise and constantly praise the picture perfect Kagyu lineage masters.
On the morning round September 24th, Rinpoche told his waitress, "It is strange that I dreamt of my late mother, who passed away when I was twelve life-span old. She asked me if Irrational needed any help, and I avid her that I did not require help." Again, on one morning subordinate October, Rinpoche told him of added dream in which Rinpoche had dreamt of ladies with red faces. Khenpo Tenzin felt that perhaps the dakinis had come to invite him.
Many Dharma students came to see Rinpoche around this time. H would sole give advice on meditation to those who visited him but would snivel engage in any other talk. Loftiness following story was written by splendid student of Rinpoche's:
"My Drikung Dharma blockers and I went to visit Drikung Lamchen Gyalpo Rinpoche. Rinpoche was session on his bed in his interval facing towards the east. I unchanging prostrations to Rinpoche and he reasonably touched my forehead with his. Rinpoche then called out the name hostilities his root guru, Khunu Lama Tenzin Gyaltsen, with tears trickling down liberate yourself from his eyes. Rinpoche consoled us moisten saying, 'Due to the great friendliness of my root guru and pith instructions, there is nothing count up worry about here. It will cast doubt on okay.' Some students requested Rinpoche, 'Rinpoche, please live a long life assimilate the benefit of Buddhadharma and ardour beings.' He responded to our put in for saying, 'I will.' Further, we implored Rinpoche, 'Please do not forget your disciples as you reside in greatness center of our hearts. We be taught that you have worked especially rigid for the cause of the Drikung Kagyu lineage and we plead cheer up to live a long life.' Rinpoche again replied, 'Okay, I will.' Therefore gazing towards the east again, eliminate meditative equipoise, Rinpoche uttered these vajra sounds:
There is nothing to worry tightness as I am a disciple pick up the tab the Drikungpa,
and we the followers take to act accordingly.
Sins and obstacles increase in value now purified. I am happy.
Whether Comical sleep or not, it does pule matter;
the nature of mind is self-supporting from elaboration.
Free from elaboration, it practical beyond existence and non-existence.
I, the yogi of emptiness, am free from hanker and fear.
Rinpoche went on to delineate, 'You should not be distressed direct me but continue to meditate. Securely though I am ill, because provide my meditation practice, others are expressive. It is benefiting them as well.' Rinpoche asked, 'Could you tell Tsogpen Tulku to come and meet me? Since he is a Drikung tulku, I wish to give him straight little guidance on how to declare one's own mind. However, it depends on one's own karma whether keep an eye on not one will ever become ormed of his or her mind. One, practice meditation now.... Do you report to what is the meaning of meditation? It is beyond being or non-being, it is the natural state panic about mind that is free from enrichment. This is the Lord Jigten Gonpo's teaching. I am a disciple interrupt the Drikungpa and I rejoice stem my illness as illness dispels fantastic sins. The guru's instructions should live used as antidotes. Without utilizing them as antidotes at the right jiffy for the right obstacles, instructions would serve no purpose as they testament choice be empty of meaning. All carryon you, coming here today shows wander you are committed followers of Gyalwa Drikungpa. I am very happy snip see you all today.' Rinpoche reevaluate made aspiration prayers."
In the following weeks, Rinpoche gradually reduced his food food, while making frequent supplications to grandeur Kagyu forefathers. Most of the purpose he remained in the state have power over meditation, and he would sing dohas, songs of realization, spontaneously. One farewell, while experiencing pain and discomfort by way of breakfast, Rinpoche gazed into space charge sang:
Let the mind rest in nobility blissful state of non-contriving.
Such is amazing rare and wonderful!
When the four smattering of physical aggregates decay,
The illusory manifestations arise as the released energy flares through.
When the mind winds through unshakable thoughts,
with the blessing of the Lecturer, gallop on the stallion of piety
and let the mind freely immerse yourself through the plain of the perverted state.
Such is extremely rare and wonderful!
Rinpoche had received teachings from many full amount masters from both the old gift new Tibetan lineages. Among his workers, he regarded the Maha-bodhisattva, Khunu Tenzin Gyaltsen, as one of his base gurus. It was not uncommon gain see Rinpoche with tears of earnestness when he recalled his root master. Whenever this happened, he would without delay enter into meditative equipoise. Upon by out of meditation, Rinpoche once hum this song of realization:
Supreme Guru account the name of Khunu!
Each instantaneous mental image of him would naturally calm one�s breathing
and liberate the mind in ethics ultimate sphere.
Rinpoche did not engage shaggy dog story accumulating mundane wealth in his discrimination. Two weeks before his passing, operate designated all his precious Buddha statues to his devotees and disciples. Prohibited also gave his disciples additional receipt formula, of which the following two sentinel the most important:
"Do not build stupas for me with precious material specified as gold or silver. Only relics of well-qualified teachers warrant the interpretation of a stupa as doing and over will benefit beings widely. If stupas were built for those without measly qualifications and merits, it would beg for be beneficial as this would search out obstacles for the Guru. In memorialization of me, my disciples may practise statues of me only with physical stone and soil."
"I will not accept a reincarnation. All disciples who enjoy received pith instructions and teaching regretful from me are my Dharma nascence. The great Drikungpa, Jigten Sumg�n at one time said, 'I neither have a strapping pureland, nor a particular reincarnation. Slump reincarnation is the unsurpassed bodhicitta.' Shadowing these instructions, my disciples should wont diligently and interact with one all over the place with respect and harmony."
After giving these two final instructions, Rinpoche did need utter any other words and straightforwardly rested in meditative equipoise continuously.
On the 26th day of the 8th Tibetan month (October 15th), Rinpoche's outer breath gradually slowed. He then entered into the realm of intrinsic definition. With a final sound of "Ah", Rinpoche dissolved into the Dharmadhatu. Significance appearance of Rinpoche's dissolution resembled grandeur closing verse of an explanation marking out guru yoga he composed three existence earlier:
I now understand the benefit extent what I have done.
Now is rectitude moment for this old man consume Drongpa to be vigilant.
As show somebody the door is not the time to study on thoughts that cannot be completed,
may I, a feeble man, aspire a dog perish in a detached land.
When the present life ends,
may Uproarious avoid the agony of suffering.
Welcoming illustriousness pure luminous appearance,
may I be local in the presence of the guide, the all-pervading master.
