Memories of Trulku Urgyen.mov

It has been almost 17 years since Tulku Urugyen Rinpoche passed away. As Rinpoche's death anniversary is approaching, I found myself miss him even more. He was a traditional senior lama, very humble. He treated everyone equally regardless of their social status, wealth or education. He gave great care and love, as well as occasional strict disciplines, to all his disciples. Rinpoche always taught with great patience and would not stop explaining until all his students understood his instructions. For those who think themselves smart, Rinpoche would humor them so they would be aware of their own arrogance. As for those who were having difficulties understanding, Rinpoche would simply reiterate his teachings with incredible patience.


Staying in Nagi Gompa was the happiest and the most memorable time in my life. Besides a large amount of Nyingmapa teachings, the most important lesson I learned from Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche was how he lived. The way he lived his life was truly inspiring to me. I deeply respect him ....speechless.

This video shows clips of Rinpoche's cremation ceremony on April 4th, 1996. Three days after the cremation, they excavated Rinpoche's body from the fire pit. To everyone's astonishment, Rinpoche's skull was intact and unburned...truly amazing! As I also remembered, for each of the 49 days after he passed away, the sky in Kathmandu was completely clear and very bright. Having such wonderful weather everyday was very rare because the sky in Kathmandu was always foggy and cloudy. Such auspiciousness was presumably reflected by the pure nature of Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche's mind in Dharmadhatu.


New comers can only meet or learn from Rinpoche through his books. I hope this video clip can inspire more people to pay respect to him. The first part of background music is Tulku Urgyen, Ani Maya and Anis in Nagi Gompa. The 2nd part of music is Calling Guru from Afar.


祖古‧烏金仁波切已經逝世17年了。過几天便是他死忌。我非常的思念他。他是一位傳統的老喇嘛，十分謙卑。無論是富人還是窮人，無論是聰慧或是愚昧者，他都一視同仁，同等對待。他對他的弟子，十分疼愛，有時卻十分嚴厲。在教學時，總怕弟子不理解，苦口婆心的解說。對於自以為很聰明的人，他會消遣他兩句，使他們警覺到狂妄自大。對於笨拙的人，他更不厭其煩，重複又重複地闡述。


住在Nagi Gompa是我人生中最開心和最難忘的日子。我學到了許多寧瑪派的教義外。

我從祖古‧烏金仁波切身上學到最重要的，是他自身的生活態度。這對我的影響非常大，毫無疑問的 -- 我敬佩他！


這段影片最主要的是講述在西元1996年4月4日 --祖古‧烏金仁波切火化當天及後的第三天，他們在開了洞口，取出他完全沒有被燃燒的頭骨，這是多麼的奇妙啊！令人感到無限的驚喜！我也還記得他過世後連續49天至荼毗那天，都是晴天朗朗，沒有半點雲彩。把污染甚劣的加德滿都生動起來。大概這就是烏金仁波切之心識處於無染的法界性吧！
