We regret to inform you that Lama Dawa Chhodak Rinpoche, Spiritual Director of Saraswati Bhawan, peerless teacher and friend, has taken his last breath and entered into t'hugdam after a two year battle with cancer. ....

He is now in a luminal state of awareness, which makes it a very precious time to connect with his blessing field. Before passing he explained how, "during the final dissolution of mind into space, the two benefits are accomplished - the benefits for self and other. Self is going into the Dharmakaya, then only there is benefit for the other.”

May he attain a swift rebirth to the Copper Coloured Mountain, I am sure Guru Rinpoche's will be more than happy to have him there! :)

Dear lord! This quick already? :jawdrop:
Well, may he be reborn in the Copper Colored Mountain anyhow. Pity on the increased rarity of the Saraswati cycle I'm looking for now... :(

Same here. Unfortunately, some of us are cursed with many obstacles.

Chod is part of an actual cremation like that?

That wasn´t chod apart from that dance from Khandro Gegjang performed by that yogi at the end, but sadhana of Dudjom Lingpa´s Throma Nagmo with fire puja of Throma Nagmo.
