-	Although he had planned to depart this world on the tenth day of the sixth Tibetan month, that day being special to [[Guru Rinpoche]], Lama Gönpo kindly acceded to his students' request and delayed his departure three days. Like [[Kunzang Sherab]] the 1st Throneholder of [[Palyul]], and [[Terdak Lingpa]] the founder of [[Mindroling]], just before his [[parinirvana]] the vidyadhara Trinlé Özer, as he had predicted, saw the [[dakini]]s coming to convey his consciousness to the [[Zangdokpalri\|Copper-Coloured Mountain]], Guru Rinpoche's pure land. Lama Gönpo made beautiful inviting [[mudra]]s as his physical body was dying, and passed into the sphere of ultimate truth on the 13th day of the sixth Tibetan month in the Iron-Sheep Year of the 17th [[Rabjung]], 1991. The ashes from his cremation contained ringsel; an image of Milarepa was visible in a bone fragment.	+	Although he had planned to depart this world on the tenth day of the sixth Tibetan month, that day being special to [[Guru Rinpoche]], Lama Gönpo kindly acceded to his students' request and delayed his departure three days.

	Guru Padmasambhava made many prophecies about the future, and together with [[Yeshé Tsogyal]] concealed countless [[terma]] teachings, in order to: prevent the destruction of the teachings of the secret mantrayana; avoid corruption of the vajrayana or its alteration by intellectuals; preserve the blessing; and benefit future followers. For each of these terma treasures, he predicted the time for its revelation, the identity of the revealer, and those who would receive and hold the teachings. At thirteen different places called Tiger’s Lair, Taktsang, Guru Rinpoche manifested in “the terrifying wrathful form of crazy wisdom”, binding worldly spirits under oath to protect the terma treasures and serve the Dharma.

Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche first had a direct vision of the mandala of Amitayus related to this practice, arising from a lake in [[Dokham]], while he was offering a ganachakra puja on the banks of the lake. Later, as he was circumambulating the meditation cave of [[Vairotsana]] at [[Pema Shelpuk]], he had a dream in which [[Yeshe Tsogyal]] handed him a yellow scroll. Following [[Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö]]'s guidance, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche put this cycle of teachings in writing and granted him the complete empowerments and practice instructions.

-	:"Retreat requires the '''outer solitude of the physical environment''', which basically means that we need to stay somewhere away from all the hustle and bustle of a busy town, somewhere that is quiet and peaceful.	+	:Retreat requires the '''outer solitude of the physical environment''', which basically means that we need to stay somewhere away from all the hustle and bustle of a busy town, somewhere that is quiet and peaceful.

	:Secondly there needs to be the '''inner solitude of one’s own body''', meaning that we need to stay by ourselves. We do this in order to reduce the [[disturbing emotions]] of attachment and aversion, which are the main disturbing emotions, together with ignorance. Of course, we may stay in retreat with some of our dharma friends, but during the actual practice sessions (''thün'') we should be alone. In ''[[Ornament of Mahayana Sutras]]'' it says:		:Secondly there needs to be the '''inner solitude of one’s own body''', meaning that we need to stay by ourselves.

	:If a young lady has lots of bracelets on her wrist, then they will bang together and make a noise when she is sewing or grinding sandalwood paste. Even if she wears just two they will still clash together and make a noise. If she has only one it will not really make any noise.

-	:The first two kinds of solitude—the outer solitude of the place and the inner solitude of one’s own body—are really just supports for the third kind of solitude, which is the '''secret solitude within one’s own mind'''. This is the most important of the three. Even if we stay in a remote place, if we are caught up in all kinds of thoughts and emotions within our minds, it does not really help us to be in an isolated location. Similarly, we might be alone, with the inner kind of solitude and isolation, but if our habits are so strong that we spend all our time thinking about our work and considering our own business affairs or daydreaming about the office, it does not help us to be in isolation and there is no benefit to being on our own. The most important of the three therefore is the secret solitude within the mind."	+	:The first two kinds of solitude—the outer solitude of the place and the inner solitude of one’s own body—are really just supports for the third kind of solitude, which is the '''secret solitude within one’s own mind'''.
