Lama Chenno!

Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche entered into Samadhi

We have lost another great master

Who lived amongst us and only for us.

We will always miss him,

His immeasurable kindness,

And his tireless work to help us.

At his 80th birthday he declared,

“I never had an obstacle in my life”

All were totally shocked

As he had lost one of his eyes,

One leg and some fingers,

And his other leg was about to go.

Now we do realize

That he was telling the truth.

He had overcome all the obstacles

Even his death was not a problem

It was an act to teach and inspire.

All his life was a teaching and an example.

How fortunate we were!

What a great opportunity it was

To receive his teachings and blessings.

Many people ask me,

“Did you really see an enlightened being.”

Yes, I have and we all have without any doubt.
