This is the the conversation between Khenpo Sodargye and his mother bhikkhuni Regtso. At June 5th, 2016, April 5th in Tibetan Lunar Calendar, his mother passed away.

Mom: My body has become a little bit heavy recently, but I don’t think it’s sick. However, I have no appetite.
Khenpo: How can you be healthy if you eat nothing? The doctor tried to nourish your body through intravenous drip.
Mom: Yes, the doctor you arranged came and put me on drip yesterday. I also took some medication. Thanks to the blessing of the Three Jewels, You are finally back home. Our whole family is reunited. Orgyen Rinpoche Chen. I am so happy today; actually, I’ve become happy since last night. I don’t know why, but I am drowsy all the time, and even fell asleep while talking with someone.
Khenpo: True.
Mom: I cannot figure out what is wrong, but I don’t think I have Dementia. Dear sweet, I didn’t feel bad until this year, when I started to feel that my time had come. The Three Jewels are aware of us, our Lama the Wish-fulfilling Jewel is blessing us. Today, we are the happiest family in the world. All my kids are here and quite happy. Especially you, you are back home after the therapy. I am particularly delighted by seeing you. Haha, I am not trying to please you by saying this.
Khenpo: I know (laughing)
Daughter: Mom, could you have some mushroom soup?
Mom: Thank you, but no.
Khenpo: Have some later?
Mom: I don’t know why, but I really do not want any.
Khenpo: How’s your chanting going?
Mom: Blessed by the Three Jewels, I have recited Samantabhadra's “Aspiration to Good Actions” and the Prayer to Be Born in Dewachen a great number of times.
Khenpo: Oh, really.

Mom: But I didn’t recite as many as usual during the Vajrasattva retreat a while ago. （Laughing)
Khenpo: Have you been reciting the name of Buddha Amitabha?
Mom: Yes, I have. I have been reciting his name all the time and he is my sole source of refuge when the time comes.
Khenpo: Have you been practicing all the time after you came to the institute?
Mom: Yes, almost thirty years. I have never disturbed the mind of any person.
Khenpo: Yes, I agree.
Mom: And have never harmed any sentient beings, not even committed the negative karma of killing a tiny insect or worm.
Khenpo: Haha, really?
Mom: Yes, really. I am joyful from the depth of my heart if I leave now. You do not want to see me leaving, but it is an extremely happy thing to be born in Dewachen now. I pray to guru and the Three Jewels, I pray to our Dharma King the Wish Fulfill Jewel. I have heard so many Dharmas, engaged in very profound practices, and the merit of participating each Dharma gathering and retreat is also inconceivable. I have done my best endeavor to practice. Now, I am very confident. I have nothing to regret.
Khenpo: Yes, indeed.
