 Although the passing of our most honourable teacher and dear friend Ven. Tarab Tulku Rinpoche has been a tragic loss for all of us, at the same time Rinpoche's way of dealing with his illness, his fantastic optimism, courage and the deep motivation he showed through his teachings until the very 'last moment' and beyond trying to bring sense, knowledge and genuine bright light of wisdom and compassion into our lives has been deeply encouraging - showing to us to be alive exactly what he has been teaching in connection with the great mystery of life and death, in the end to manifest a presence, which, when contacted, does not leave his students to feel separated from him at all - just the opposite - an incredible gift and probably his deepest teaching until now.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama has recently at a public speech in Mexico said, in response to a request from a Tibetan student of Tarab Tulku Rinpoche, that Rinpoche was not an ordinary Lama, he was a most highly developed teacher and scholar. Further His Holiness said, that it is a great loss for all of us that Tarab Rinpoche should pass to another state so early. As Tarab Rinpoche is very important for us at this time, His Holiness told that he would do whatever in his power to find the new incarnation of him.
With all my heart and I am sure that it is on behalf of all of Rinpoche's students that I request You, dear and true lama, to continue your immeasurable work in whichever form you may have. We will do our best to attune to the new situation of contacting the great presence you are manifesting, beyond the physical form, in order to still follow your guidance. We will also promise to do our very best to comprehend, practice, and apply your most profound teachings of Unity in Duality, which we have been so fortunate to be granted by you, to fulfil your wishes for this Ancient Wisdom - beyond time, culture and religion buried in the Tibetan heritage, which you have made available to us, for it to survive and thrive for the purpose of recreating harmony in people, between people as well as to restore the harmony between man and nature.
