Tai Situ Rinpoche spoke about the situation and requested as many prayers as possible. He said that the mo came out extremely bad.

It's not surprising. He is 90 years old. Impermanence. No one lives forever. Not even Buddhas.
Pure because purity has always been a nonexistence.

Om Tare Tuttare Ture mama ayu punye jnaana putim kuru svaha.

Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche may you live long, may you continue to benefit beings.
དམ་པའི་དོན་ནི་ཤེས་རབ་ཆེ་བ་དང་།
རྟོག་གེའི་ཡུལ་མིན་བླ་མའི་བྱིན་རླབས་དང་།
སྐལ་ལྡན་ལས་འཕྲོ་ཅན་གྱིས་རྟོགས་པ་སྟེ།
དེ་ནི་ཤེས་རབ་ལ་ནི་ལོ་རྟོག་སེལ།།


"Absolute Truth is not an object of analytical discourse or great discriminating wisdom,
It is realized through the blessing grace of the Guru and fortunate Karmic potential.
Like this, mistaken ideas of discriminating wisdom are clarified."
- (Kyabje Bokar Rinpoche, from his summary of "The Ocean of Definitive Meaning")

True. The prayers are as much as anything that we should be inspired by his example to raise Bodhicitta.
His is a long lifetime of effort.

He’s had a rich Dharma life and done so much fantastic stuff. Pointing Out The Dharmakaya is one of my top meditation volumes, it really helped me. I’ll do some practice for him. Whichever way things though go I’m happy we was around doing his thing, and I hope he either hangs around for a few years or comes back soon.

Sorry to hear he is so ill. I received many empowerments from him, and his books have been a constant source of information and instruction.

At 90 though, he has led a long and fruitful life and I'm sure there few as prepared for their end as he undoubtedly is.

May his activity and those of his successors contain to bring great benefit.

Great news. I've been doing White Tara for him for a few days now. I got many major empowerments from him. One the last of the Buxa generation that established TBism outside of Tibet.
