Tenga Tulku, 1932 - 2012

Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche has entered thugdam, this photographic evidence of which is intended to bring benefit to all sentient beings. Official time of death is given as 3:24 a.m. Nepali time, 30 March 2012. So great is Rinpoche's realization that practices performed in the presence of even this image will bring supreme benefit during this special period.

A full account of Rinpoche's passing is given at the Benchen Monastery site.

A Brief Supplication for the Swift Rebirth

Surpreme emanation Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche,
even though you have merged your intention into one with dharmadathu,
for the sake of the doctrine and beings, in general and in particular,
may the moon-like face of your emanation rise again soon!


Composed by Sangye Nyenpa

This supplication was composed by H.E. Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche in the early hours of 30th March 2012, in the presence of the precious remains of Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche. Immediatedly translated by Sherab Drime (Thomas Roth).

  1. Well that´s an amazing photo of Tenga Rinpoche.
    I was fortunate enough to hear him teaching twice just two years ago. In his presence, I could feel so intensely what is an accomplished being... he said several times this: "The most important thing is the INTENTION." I'll never forget.
