His Eminence the Eighth Trulshik Adeu Rinpoche passed into parinirvana at around noon time on 27th July 2007, due to deteriorating health. His Holiness the Twelfth Gyalwang Drukpa requests all members and friends of the Drukpa Lineage to make lamp offering and engage in spiritual practice sincerely to pray for the swift return of Rinpoche, one of the most celebrated heroes of the Dragon Lineage in today's troubled times. His Holiness said, "It is a great loss to all of us. It is very rare to find a genuine master like Kyabje Adeu Rinpoche, and each of these genuine masters is queuing up to leave us."
