At 4:30 in the afternoon (local time) on October 11, 2007, having finished his activites for this life, he passed away while with close disciples and attendants in Sera Monastery. His mind remained in his body in deep meditation for another 8 days after which his body was cremated in the traditional manner at Trehor Kangtsen of Seraje Monastery in South India, in the presence of thousands of monks of the monastery. His passing away is an immense loss to the monastery, the Tibetan Buddhist community and indeed to the whole world.
