The passing of Tenga Rinpoche
A brief account of the passing of Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche
[The Precious Kudung - Photo taken by Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche's personal attendant Karma Sherab Wangchuk, Kathmandu, 2012]
As you know, Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche had been admitted to hospital on the evening of 26 March. On the 28th, at 5:30 p.m. Rinpoche expressly stated his wish to return to the monastery. The doctors advised him strongly not to do so, owing to the lack of facilities there, and telling Rinpoche quite frankly that they could not guarantee for anything should he choose to leave anyway. However, Rinpoche stood by his decision, which was also confirmed by H.H. the Karmapa's advice shortly thereafter. An ambulance was readied and Rinpoche arrived in the monastery at around 7:00 p.m.
Previously, while in the hospital, Rinpoche's situation was quite unbearable. He was in great discomfort and had to be turned every minute. Also, while in the clinic, he could not sleep for even one minute. This situation persisted for a while once he was back home in the monastery until, at 9:30 p.m., he asked Tashi Özer and Sherab Wangchuk to tell everyone to please leave. At around 10:00 p.m. Rinpoche asked specifically for eight persons to be asked to come. They were Tenpa Yarpel, Sherab Wangchuk, Jinpa Lodrö, Tashi Özer, Karma, Lama Geleg, Lama Tsöndrü and Söpa Chöpel. When they went in they found Rinpoche sleeping peacefully and they stayed quietly in his presence until midnight.
When Rinpoche awoke shortly after midnight, Sherab Wangchuk informed him that all those requested were present. Rinpoche was then helped to sit up and began to speak his last will. He requested several times that his words be recorded so that there may be no mistake later on. Among Rinpoche's wishes was that some gold objects that had recently been offered to him, be placed inside the large Maitreya statue in the main temple as well as in the golden finial on top of the temple rooves. This has already been done.
It was not immediately apparent, but after a while it was noticed that Rinpoche didn't require any moving anymore. He instead sat up very straight and still and did not seem like a sick person any longer. While Rinpoche had previously been feeling very nauseous, all of that was gone and he seemed to be in no more discomfort. Occasionally he would ask for a sip of water or juice.
After a little while Tenpa Yarpel was called again and Rinpoche made it very clear that he wished his body to be cremated. Being even more specific, Rinpoche directed that the four fire rituals for the cremation should be conducted by our lamas and monks of Benchen monastery, by Tsike Chokling Rinpoche, by Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche and by Tulku Yönten of Thrangu monastery and their respective monks.
Again, a little later Sherab Wangchuk was called and directed to extend Rinpoche's best wishes and aspirations to all of his students in Europe, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Indonesia, and especially to Mrs. How Yok Bee, Mr. and Mrs. Peter and Nora Rohde-Kvaede and to Mr. Tim Tashi Boldt and family.
Yet again a little later Tenpa Yarpel was called. Rinpoche expressly stated that it was his wish that Tenpa Yarpel will be given the rank of Senior Treasurer, while Tashi Özer will be Junior Treasurer of Benchen Monastery. This was put in writing and will be adhered to.
By now the night had worn on and it was the early hours of 29 March. At 3:00 a.m. Rinpoche called for his niece Karmo. After that Tenpa Yarpel was called again and asked by Rinpoche to ask Sangyum Dechen, the wife of Tsike Chokling Rinpoche, to be invited for the next morning. Rinpoche stressed again how he wanted his best wishes to be sent to everyone. At 6:00 a.m. H.E. Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche came and stayed with Tenga Rinpoche until shortly before 9:00 at which time Sangyum Dechen arrived. Rinpoche took note of her arrival but said nothing. At around 9:30 a.m. she asked Rinpoche's permission to leave and was excused.
After that Tashi Özer asked Rinpoche how and when one should begin to look for Rinpoche's next incarnation. Tenga Rinpoche was very explicit about it saying "Ask H.H. the Karmapa! His advice will be very clear."
For more than 28 hours Rinpoche had been sitting up very straight and still and for much of that time he seemed to be in deep meditation. At night Tenpa Yarpel was called again into Rinpoche's presence and asked to record his words. It was Tenga Rinpoche's request to Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche to continuously take care that all the traditional rituals of Benchen Monastery, the dances and pujas etc., will be continued uninterruptedly in the future. Tenpa Yarpel then requested Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche to please return very quickly, to which Rinpoche smiled and nodded his head.
Around 1:00 a.m. Tenga Rinpoche mentioned that he had clearly seen his teachers, the previous 11th Tai Situ Pema Wangchok Gyalpo, the previous Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche, the previous Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and the 2nd Jamgön Kongtrul Palden Khentse Özer before himself. Then, in the early hours of 30 March, at 3:24 a.m. local time to be exact, he finally passed on. H.E. Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche had visited several more times before that.
This day, which is the eighth day of the second Tibetan month, is a day sacred to the Saviouress Tara. When the moment had finally come, Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche offered the words of the "Clarifying the Thugdam-state" and spoke them directly into Tenga Rinpoche's ear. Accordingly Tenga Rinpoche adjusted his posture slightly, placed his hands in the meditation gesture, and has since entered into the deep meditation that is known as "Thugdam", a meditative state that great realized masters can enter into after their bodies have expired. Right after that Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche led the recitation of prayers to the Three Jewels and especially the "Calling the Lama from Afar" by Jamgön Kongtrul.
Since then the precious advice of H.H. the Karmapa has been received to keep Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche's surroundings very quiet and to allow no visits to the Kudung, the precious remains, for the duration of three days. We will proceed accordingly. Upon Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche's express wish to be cremated and the advice of H.E. Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche, the date for the cremation has been set for May 18, 2012.
For the next few days, while Rinpoche is in the Thugdam state, H.H. the Karmapa has advised to practice the "Four Sessions Guru Yoga" and "Calling the Lama from Afar" by Jamgön Kongtrul.
With best wishes,
The Benchen Monastery Committee
Addendum
As you all probably can imagine we are rather busy over here at the moment to arrange everything in such a way as to please and serve our beloved departed master best. In doing so, some details have escaped us for the moment but do come back to memory now, so allow us to share them with you before they will be forgotten. They just serve to show how Rinpoche thought of nothing but the benefit of others, even while being in the greatest discomfort and pain himself!
On 28 March, while still in hospital, Rinpoche expressed his wish that the oral transmission of the Prajnaparamita Sutras, requested from H.E. Drubwang Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche, and scheduled to begin on 2 April, should definitely go ahead without delay. Rinpoche considered them to be so precious and beneficial that nothing at all should get in their way, not even his own passing away. While being in great pain and discomfort, it seems that Rinpoche saw very clearly in his minds eye how the temple had been prepared for the event. He said for instance that, "Yes, all the thangkas have been put up, very good. But also tell the shrine master and his attendants to put the offering ornaments on top!" Rinpoche also insisted that the shrine master be told to prepare the tormas that will go on the main shrine for the event, in the most elaborate and perfect way. Such was his attention to even the tiniest detail, while being in the greatest imaginable discomfort himself!
On 29 March, in the very early morning hours, back home in his rooms, Rinpoche asked those present to repeat certain mantras. He said in a very low voice, "Tenpa, you repeat Guru Rinpoche mantras. Sherab, you do Tara mantras. Jinpa, you repeat the mantra of Namgyalma." And after a while he added, "All the others, you also do Namgyalma mantras." After about twenty minutes Rinpoche said, "Now it is good." And the repetition of mantras could be stopped.
Another point, concerning Rinpoche's state of health. Both before and while in the hospital, Rinpoche's blood pressure was extremely low. Even when given medication to raise the pressure, he did not respond to the treatment at all. However, sometime after lunch on the 29th, our monastery's doctor, Tsering Phüntsok, took Rinpoche's blood pressure and found it to be much improved. Seemingly all by itself...

天噶仁波切示寂經過簡報
尊貴的天噶仁波切3月26日晚間被送入醫院,28號下午5點30分,仁波切表明想要返回寺廟,醫生們都強烈的不建議,因為寺廟沒有足夠的設施,所以醫生們直接告訴仁波切,如果仁波切離開醫院,他們將無法擔保任何事情的發生,然而仁波切堅持他的決定,並且得到大寶法王的許可之後,大約晚上七點救護車護送仁波切回寺廟。
之前仁波切在醫院裏的狀況是很難忍受的,他處於一種很不舒服的狀態,且每分鐘都要翻身,同時他也無法入睡,這樣的狀況持續了一陣子,一直到回到了寺廟,直到晚間9點30分,他要求紮西偉色和雪樂望秋讓所有人離開。大約晚間十點仁波切召喚八個人,他們是滇巴亞沛、雪樂望秋、金巴羅卓、紮西偉色、噶瑪、喇嘛噶列、喇嘛尊珠和梭巴卻沛,當他們入房時,發現仁波切平靜的入睡了,他們就安靜地留在房內直到深夜。
當仁波切子夜後醒來片刻,雪樂望秋知會仁波切他召見的人都到了,仁波切就被扶坐起來開始宣讀他的遺言,他要求許多次要將他的話記錄下來,所以將來不會有疑慮,仁波切的遺言中,關於大眾最近供養的一些黃金物品,要置入主廟內的主尊彌⋯⋯勒菩薩的佛像內及寺廟頂上的金頂中,這項遺囑已經實行了。
經過一會兒,大家注意到仁波切漸漸地沒有要求任何的移動,他反而坐得很直,再也不像一位病人了,仁波切之前一直很想吐,現在所有的不適都消失了,他看起來再也不會不舒服了,有時候他會要求要喝一點水或果汁。過一會滇巴亞沛被召見,仁波切清楚的表明他希望被火化,仁波切更清楚的指示火化需使用四種火供儀式,且由邊倩寺的喇嘛僧眾及慈克邱林仁波切、卻吉尼瑪仁波切、創古寺的祖古雍滇和他們的代表僧眾執行。
過一會兒,雪樂望秋被召見並被指示傳達仁波切的最大的祝福,給所有仁波切在歐洲、馬來西亞、新加坡、臺灣和印尼的學生特別是 Mrs. How Yok Bee, Mr. and Mrs. Peter and Nora Rohde-Kvaede and to Mr. Tim Tashi Boldt and family。
滇巴亞沛被召見,仁波切指示滇巴亞沛被任命為邊倩寺的總財務長,而紮西偉色為副財務長,這些聲明都已經記錄下來且會執行。
此晚就如此漫長的度過了,3月29日淩晨3點,仁波切召見他的侄女噶摩,之後滇巴亞沛再次被召喚並要求邀請秋林仁波切的佛母珊瓊德千第二天早上前來,仁波切再次要求要將他誠摯的祝福給所有人,早上6點,桑傑年巴仁波切進入房內並陪著天噶仁波切,直到9點珊瓊德千到達,天噶仁波切知道她的到來但沒任何指示,大約9點30分,珊瓊德千請示仁波切的准許離去了。
之後,紮西偉色請示仁波切何時及如何開始尋找仁波切的轉世,天噶仁波切很明確地說:“請示大寶法王噶瑪巴,法王的指示會很清楚的。”
超過28小時,仁波切都一直坐得很直挺,且大部分的時間似乎都在深沉的禪修中,晚間滇巴亞沛被召喚到仁波切前並被要求要記錄下仁波切的話語,這是天噶仁波切的要求,請桑傑年巴仁波切繼續關照所有邊倩寺的傳統儀式,包括金剛舞和法會等等,所有儀式都將繼續且不間斷的執行,滇巴亞沛請求尊貴的天噶仁波切儘快回來,仁波切微笑且點了點頭。
大約淩晨1點,天噶仁波切說他非常清楚的看到他的老師們在他面前: 第十一世大司徒仁波切貝瑪旺秋嘉波,前一世桑傑年巴仁波切,前一世頂果欽哲仁波切和第二世蔣貢康楚仁波切巴滇欽則偉色,在3月30日淩晨3點24分當地時間,天噶仁波切圓寂了,尊貴的桑傑年巴仁波切在此之前,已經前去多次。
這一天是藏曆的二月八日,是救護度母的殊勝日,當這時刻終於來臨時,桑傑年巴仁波切供養「淨化修證狀態文」,並且直接念誦給天噶仁波切,據此天噶仁波切微微調整他的姿勢,將他的雙手擺放為禪修姿勢,並進入深沉的禪修狀態,此狀態被稱為修證(藏音為吐當),大修行者圓寂時會進入這樣的禪修狀態,之後桑傑年巴仁波切領頌《祈請三寶文》,特別是蔣貢康楚仁波切的《遙呼上師祈請文》。
大寶法王噶瑪巴指示之後三天期間,天噶仁波切的周圍要非常安靜且無人能造訪尊貴的肉身,鑒於尊貴的天噶仁波切希望火化的指示,桑傑年巴仁波切指示火化日期為2012年的5月18日。
未來的幾天,當仁波切仍處於修證階段,大寶法王噶瑪巴指示要修《四座上師瑜伽》,和蔣貢康楚仁波切的《遙呼上師祈請文》。
