	The Egg Nebula in Polarized Light Venerable Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoche with orphans Dharma Teachings by Venerable Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoche available at Land of Medicine Buddha After giving teachings to His Holiness the Dalai Lama Venerable Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoche at FPMT Venerable Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoche is Abbot of Kirti Monastery in Dharamsala Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoche's passing Vula Zarpani sent this message on Dec 17: After demonstrating the appearance of serious illness for many months, Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoche enter tuk.dam, the final meditation, early this morning at 2.30am, Saturday, December 16, in South Delhi, India. The day of the Tib 15th, which was Lama Tsong Khapa Day - one of the holiest days in the geluk calendar - special offerings and prayers were offered at the house and in the evening extensive light offerings were made. During this period, Rinpoche revealed just how we should practice when death approaches, with the same skill he had perfectly demonstrated how we should practice in all circumstances in this life. We can only rejoice at having the fortune to meet this perfect master, with limitless excellent qualities both seen and unseen, whose compassion and patience is immeasurable, and whose knowledge and wisdom are vast and clear like a crystal ocean. Voula And on Dec 2, we received this advice from Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoche: Earlier this year, a student asked Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoche: "Rinpoche, I have been thinking that most of my teachers are advanced in age and that inevitably they will pass away. I hope that they will all choose to return among us. But it will be a few years before they are recognized, trained and begin to teach again. By then, chances are that I will be too old to receive teachings again. Is there anything I can do about it?" Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoche: You should be more specific when you are praying. It is not enough to simply say: "I wish to meet such and such a teacher again." Rather, you should be praying along these lines: "I wish to meet this teacher again, as early as possible in life. I wish to be among the guru's first disciples. I wish to be present as soon as the guru begins teaching again and I wish that I will remain connected to the guru for a very long time. I wish that the guru will teach for a very long time and that my mental capabilities will be active for an equally long time."
