A Concise Prayer for the Swift Return of Tenga Rinpoche

CHOGTRUL TENGA RINPOCHE

LARYANG TENDRO CHICHE LE
TRULPE DASHAL NYUR CHAR SOL

Supreme emanation Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche,
although you have merged your intention into one with the Dharmadatu,
for the sake of the Doctrine and beings in general, and in particular,
may the moon-like face of your emanation rise again soon!

At KTD, in June 1998:

Before the initiation, Rinpoche performed the practice using the traditional instruments.  While he chanted melodiously, his drum beat out our heart's own rhythm, and each sounding of the thigh bone trumpet was answered by a clap of thunder.  Many of us in the shrine room (shown in the film Kundun) were moved to tears by the beauty and profundity of the offering that is the Cheu.
