He was a person full of knowledge and insight. The people of India, especially of Ladakh, owe a great debt of gratitude to him because of his immense contributions in religious and political fields.
With unshakeable faith in His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Rinpoche has shown deep concern for the cause of Tibet and made tremendous contributions towards the welfare of the Tibetans in exile for the past forty-four years, for which Tibetans remain indebted for generations.
On behalf of the Tibetans inside and outside Tibet, the Kashag prays for the fulfillment of Rinpoche’s wishes and for an immediate true reincarnation of him so that he can continue the great work left unfinished by his predecessor.
We also express our deep condolence and sadness to the people of Ladakh and the monks and staff at Rinpoche’s Monastery.
The Kashag,
Central Tibetan Administration.
