Khenpo Tsultrim Lodro
Vajradhara Protector Guru in dark times
Two months before entering Parinirvana
Before tens of thousands of Sangha, you said this:
"I will not remain in samsara but go to Sukhavati,
You who remain in this world —keep these three points in your mind.
Do not kill sentient beings; keep a virtuous mind,
Keep making aspirations to take rebirth in Sukhavati.
I will not take rebirth on earth for the time being after my death,
To reunite with me, come to Sukhavati
Since all meetings end with partings, do not grieve."
Three days before entering Parinirvana
You gave two advices to the disciples at Larung Gar:
"Do not give up on one’s path; do not disturb others’ minds"
Such are the two holy advices — your vajra testament
For the holy Dharma Lord who sees rock and gold as equal
what is the use of offering food, drinks or praise?
To keep in mind these three points and two advices is commemorating (him)
To practice these three points and two advices is making offerings (to him)
Written to remember HH Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche on his 10th anniversary of Parinirvana.
