Therefore, I will not elaborate. Now, let's get to the main text. At that time, my physical condition was poor, but from the morning of the day I returned from Dzong (རྫོང་), I felt comfortable and as if I had regained my energy. On the morning of the nineteenth, I set out from Dzong (རྫོང་), being carried in a palanquin or a seat of compassion. The monks of Tharpa Monastery, as well as many other realized monks and nuns, and many laypeople, both men and women, young and old, from the market, surrounded me as I arrived at the garden of Tashi Gephel. Everything appeared like an illusion, and I felt joyful and relaxed. That day, my physical condition was also good, so for the sake of auspiciousness, I taught the empowerment of the longevity practice of the Victorious One, Amitayus and Jnana, to the abbot and disciples of Tharpa Monastery. That night, in the presence of Jamyang Tulku (འཇམ་མགོན་སྐུ་སྐྱེ་), a magnificent tsokhor (gathering wheel) was arranged for all of us, the abbot and disciples. Among the offerings of the abbot and disciples, there was also a blessed thangka of the glorious great wheel. This thangka and the tsokhor also manifested auspicious signs, purifying our own faults. On the way back, the seat of compassion moved slowly, and although it took about nine days, I felt better and more energetic each day. On the twenty-eighth, with a grand welcoming ceremony and many other preparations, I arrived at the monastery of Tagten. I also said many harsh words to those who did not know how to raise the flags, which was not good. Amidst a huge crowd, I stayed for a while at a place called "Dharma Good Vajra Seat." Then, after receiving their respective gifts, I was carried on a sedan chair on the way back and went to the top of Drepung Monastery, where I stayed in a new house named "Khamsum Namgyal." From then until the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth month of the Tibetan calendar, I did not go out, but engaged in health care. Virtuous deeds increased, and I felt happy in my wisdom and mind. At this time, I also had the thought that it would be nice to go to Oddiyana (ཨོ་རྒྱན་, the pure land of Guru Rinpoche), but because Ka-kho (ཀ་ཁོ) insisted that I stay, I gave up that idea. From the beginning of the twelfth month, I was barely able to stand and walk, so from around the eighth, I also did a little circumambulation. Now, they say they want to consider my rituals, saying that the steward himself and the attendants are working hard on the sixth day.

在星宿良辰之日，开始了塑造薄伽梵如来无量光（梵文：Amitābha，阿弥陀佛）的深奥身像和巨大的金像。来自中央的丹增仁波切化身，以及我们自己的奥洛等人也前来相遇。藏历新年正月初一那天解除了闭关。前去参加迎接来自康区等地的喇嘛格瓦等人的盛大绕行、接受供养、奉献供品等活动的集会。勉强能够步行往返于孜修之间。用金、铜、银三种材料建造的八座善逝佛塔，是在羊年藏历八月开始动工的。由于镶嵌的装饰品很多，所以耗时很久。这次终于完成了。每座佛塔的高度都是八肘高。装饰品主要以绿松石、珊瑚为主，还有各种宝石，如：红宝石（梵文：padmarāga，莲花红）、蓝宝石（梵文：tsuni，音译）、猫眼石（梵文：gomutika，牛尿石）、黄玉（梵文：puṣyarāga，黄宝石）、苏甘底（梵文：sukanti，音译）、拉苏那（梵文：lasuna，音译）、蓝宝石（梵文：indranila，音译）等，以及祖母绿（梵文：markata，音译）等。还有六瓣莲花（梵文：ṣaṭatila，音译）、多哈日（梵文：ḍohari，音译）、水晶、红玛瑙、白玛瑙、黑玛瑙等，以及打磨过的水晶、琥珀、珍珠等。总之，每座佛塔上大约有两千五百件装饰品。现在这些佛塔的装藏也在初一初二完成了。初四，在星宿良辰吉日，依靠吉祥胜乐金刚（梵文：Śrīcakrasamvara，音译）坛城，早上圆满完成了开光仪式。还举行了巨幅唐卡弥勒佛的揭幕仪式。对于寺庙、修行地以及其他地方来的非常庞大的僧众，进行了八座佛塔的朝拜。在工匠们的庆典上，刮起大风吹动了地毯，出现了茶水翻倒的迹象。以庆典的方式，我前往了却桑的法座。僧众们为我举行了长寿祈愿仪式。来自各地的供养也很多。摆设了盛大的会供。在却桑的宽敞之地，参加集会的人数大约有一千七百人。加上需要分发食物等，总人数肯定超过两千人。会供食物的量相当于二十斗，而且提供的五种食物都不是小小的敷衍了事，而是令人印象深刻。在那里聚集了所有黑皮肤的人们，以及

On the auspicious day of the star, the construction of the profound image and the great golden statue of the Bhagavan Tathagata Amitabha (Sanskrit: Amitābha) was started. Tenzin Rinpoche Tulku from the center, as well as our own Olo and others, also came to meet. The retreat was concluded on the first day of the first month of the Hor calendar. I went to the gathering to receive the offerings and dedications from the grand circumambulation of Lama Gewa and others who came from Kham and other places. I was barely able to walk back and forth between Tseshol. The construction of these eight Sugata stupas made of gold, copper, and silver began in the eighth month of the Sheep year. Due to the many inlaid ornaments, it took a long time. It was finally completed this time. Each stupa is eight cubits high. The ornaments are mainly turquoise and coral, as well as various kinds of gems, such as: ruby (Sanskrit: padmarāga), sapphire (Sanskrit: tsuni), cat's eye (Sanskrit: gomutika), topaz (Sanskrit: puṣyarāga), sukanti (Sanskrit: sukanti), lasuna (Sanskrit: lasuna), sapphire (Sanskrit: indranila), and emerald (Sanskrit: markata), etc. There are also six-petaled lotuses (Sanskrit: ṣaṭatila), dohari (Sanskrit: ḍohari), crystal, red agate, white agate, black agate, etc., as well as polished crystal, amber, pearls, etc. In short, each stupa has about two thousand five hundred ornaments. Now the consecration of these stupas has also been completed on the first and second days. On the fourth day, on the auspicious day of the star, relying on the mandala of the glorious Chakrasamvara (Sanskrit: Śrīcakrasamvara), the actual consecration ceremony was successfully completed in the morning. The unveiling ceremony of the giant thangka of Maitreya was also held. For the very large Sangha from monasteries, practice places, and other places, the worship of the eight stupas was conducted. At the artisans' celebration, a strong wind blew the carpets, and there was a sign of tea being spilled. In the manner of a celebration, I went to the throne of Chosang. The Sangha performed a long life prayer ceremony for me. There were also many offerings from various places. A grand Ganachakra was arranged. In the spacious area of Chosang, there were about one thousand seven hundred people attending the gathering. Including those who needed to distribute food, the total number must have exceeded two thousand. The amount of food offered was equivalent to twenty bushels, and the five kinds of food offered were not small and perfunctory, but impressive. There, all the black-skinned people gathered, as well as

甚至连乞丐们也未曾断绝善缘。这次会供是寺院大众自己发起的。我自己的话，虽然火灾的伤口尚未痊愈，身体也因各种疾病缠身而难以支撑，但还是装作病已痊愈的样子。从各方前来求法的众多僧侣都被召集在此。五号去了大隐修地吉祥觉囊。第二天六号开始了噶举六支瑜伽的时轮法会。如往常一样，心间的灌顶等也没有当作简单的法事，而是认真地进行。第二天要授予上师灌顶，今天所有的常住僧众也都来了。加上本地和外地的僧人和男女信众，总人数比以往常住僧众的会供和布施都要多，这是可以肯定的。所以像往常一样，准备了丰盛的会供。大殿的十三层伞盖，包括伞顶在内，有一段时间被一些不确定的泥塑所代替。因为尺寸也小，而且也已破损。所以制作了一个与佛塔本身相称的金铜材质，镶嵌着众多宝石，伞盖上垂挂着宝石网，高度大约到人手能举起的程度。这段时间里已经顺利地完成了。并在早上举行了开光仪式。这次会供是我们自己发起的。就这样进行了两次会供，第一次是胜乐金刚的仪轨，第二次是时轮金刚的仪轨。弥补了我们自己和各位僧侣的诸多过失。确信积累了广大的资粮。这两次都像是黑风刮起的沙尘暴一样。这次时轮大灌顶期间，来自芒喀恰隆巴、多洛丹巴、列托南部和中部等地的人非常多。加上附近寺院的僧人和各种年龄的男女。新来接受灌顶的人大约有三百人左右。加上旧的，总共有六百人左右接受灌顶。感觉这次的时轮灌顶法会办得很好。藏历二月，像往常一样进行了灌顶和朵玛等。

Even the beggars were not deprived of merit. This tsokhor (gathering) was initiated by the monastery community itself. As for myself, although the wounds from the fire have not yet healed, and my body is burdened with various ailments, making it difficult to bear, I pretended to have recovered from my illness. Many monks from various regions who came to seek Dharma were gathered here. On the 5th, I went to the great retreat place, glorious Jonang. On the 6th, the next day, the Kalachakra Six-Branch Yoga Dharma assembly was started. As before, the heart mandala empowerment and so on were not treated as simple Dharma events, but were performed seriously. The next day, the higher empowerment was to be conferred, and today all the permanent residents came. Including the local and foreign monks and nuns, the total number of people was definitely more than the usual tsokhor and offerings of the permanent residents. So, as usual, a generous tsokhor was prepared. The thirteen-tiered umbrella of the great Utsé stupa, including the top, had been replaced for a while by some uncertain clay sculptures. Because the size was small and it was also damaged. So, a gold-copper material that matched the stupa itself was made, inlaid with many jewels, and a jewel net was hung on the umbrella, about the height that a person could hold in their hand. It has been successfully completed during this time. And the consecration ceremony was held in the early morning. This tsokhor was initiated by ourselves. In this way, two tsokhors were performed, the first was in the tradition of Chakrasamvara, and the second was in the tradition of Kalachakra. Many shortcomings of ourselves and the monks were compensated. It is certain that great accumulations of merit were accumulated. Both of these seemed like sandstorms raised by black winds. During this great Kalachakra initiation, there were very many people from Mangkar Chalungpa, Dolotanpa, Leto South, and Central regions. Including the monks from nearby monasteries and boys and girls of all ages. About three hundred new people received the initiation. Including the old ones, there were about six hundred people who received the initiation. I feel that this Kalachakra initiation was done very well. In the second month of the Tibetan calendar, the initiation and torma, etc., were performed as usual.

三月初一圆满结束。传法灌顶时，昂仁堪布仁波切也来短暂听法。喇嘛绛巴贡噶瓦师徒众多。之前我们身体非常不好的时候到达桑孜。在那里住了一个月，在塔登住了一个月。饭需要送过去，做了祈请法事。也有六支瑜伽的前行积资法会。所有尼姑和各种有证悟的人都做了坚固的依止。时轮金刚法传完后，给他们快速传授了一些香巴噶举的法。传完后就去利生事业了。这时是藏历二月八日。我们的瓦拉嘎管家贡噶华桑稍微地，每天都呈现出精气越来越衰弱的样子。传法灌顶的时候，那四天里，虽然有能去市场尽头的兴致，但二十四日好像精气不足，没有活下来就去世了。现在我个人的所有快乐都因此而消失了。你们这些人可能不明白，为了传达信息，所以在这里说了这些。即使如此，活着的剩余时间里，快乐和痛苦也没有什么区别。瓦古科热以前做了很多善事，经常不断地念诵和读经，所以这样吗？从生病开始到现在，禅修也自然而然地生起，出现了像幻觉一样和奇怪的景象，这些大家都清楚。身体里有小小的刺痛，偶尔会有咳嗽和疼痛。好像有医生，除了脉搏以外，没有真正查出什么病。之后，我们按照自己所能做的做了超度等，但还是不满意。他自己没有存任何东西。本来也喜欢以后做善事，但主要是在自己活着的时候做。活着的时候尽力做了善事。我们以前说的所有通过事业之轮成就的善事都是他做的。只有塔登的僧团是他亲自管理的。没有其他人插手。依靠上师的权势，做一些饮食之类的事情。接受供养等等。

It ended on the first day of the third month. During the empowerment, Ngamring Khenchen Rinpoche also came to listen to the Dharma for a short time. Lama Jampa Kunga and many disciples were there. Previously, when we were very ill, we arrived at Samtse. We stayed there for a month, and in Takten for a month. Food had to be sent over, and Dharma requests were made. There were also preliminary accumulation practices for the Six Yogas. All the nuns and various realized individuals made firm reliance. After the Kalachakra initiation was completed, they were quickly taught some of the Shangpa Kagyu teachings. After that, they went to benefit beings. This was on the eighth day of the second Tibetan month. Our Wala Ka steward, Kunga Palzang, gradually showed signs of weakening vitality each day. During the empowerment, for those four days, although he had the enthusiasm to go to the end of the market, on the twenty-fourth, it seemed that his vitality was insufficient, and he passed away without surviving. Now all my personal happiness has disappeared because of this. You people may not understand, so I am saying this here to convey the information. Even so, in the remaining time of life, there is not much difference between happiness and suffering. Wagu Kore had done many good deeds in the past, and constantly recited and read scriptures, so is that why? From the time he became ill until now, meditation has arisen naturally, and strange visions and miraculous signs have appeared, which are clear to everyone. There are small pricking pains in the body, and occasionally there is coughing and pain. It seems like there is a doctor, but apart from the pulse, no real illness has been diagnosed. Afterwards, we did what we could, such as performing funeral rites, but we were not satisfied. He himself had not saved anything. Originally, he also liked to do good deeds in the future, but it is mainly necessary to do them while one is alive. He did as many good deeds as he could while he was alive. All the good deeds that we used to say were accomplished through the wheel of activity were done by him. Only the Takten community was directly managed by him. No one else interfered. Relying on the power of the Lama, he did things like providing food. Receiving offerings, etc.
