~The actual event of how Kyabje Getse Rinpoche entered Parinirvana.

《This text is to quell the rumor on Rinpoche's decease is due to a car accident)》

On 18th Nov (10th of tenth month of Tibetan calendar), Rinpoche was making preparation to leave the mountain the next day and planned to stay a night in Adzom Monastery and Kathok Bairoling Monastery. On that evening, Rinpoche half jokingly chatted with his two attendant lamas - Lama Konphel and Lama Guru about impermanence, and so he said:"If I were to die tomorrow, it might be difficult for both of you to prepare the wood, I think you better buy some oil, cremate me on the mountain over there." He instructed them clearly on how the funeral should be prepared.

Then on the 19th Nov (11th of tenth month of Tibetan calendar) approximately 10.30am, as wished by Rinpoche himself, attendant lama Konphel accompany Rinpoche to take a stroll towards Azdom Monastery. Suddenly, Rinpoche walked towards a road with dangerous condition, the lama immediately tried to stop him by shouting :"Rinpoche don't go there, there's no road over there!" Rinpoche responded by chiding him :"You still have very strong attachment on this physical body!" And kept walking by himself, he very soon fell down and showed parinirvana. That was around 11.30am.

The account above is based on the joint statement in Tibetan version and collected audio recording.

～格澤法王圓寂實況（車禍之說非事實，請轉發分享）～

11月18日（藏曆十月十日）那天，由於隔天要下山，於是法王稍作準備，並法王計畫在從蓮師聖地揚列雪關房到首都加德滿都的途中，於噶陀安宗寺和噶陀毘廬林寺分別住宿。當天傍晚，法王對著兩位隨侍弟子：空培喇嘛(Lama Konphel)和古如喇嘛(Lama Guru)兩人以半開完笑的口吻談論人生無常之際，說道：「我明天死掉的話，你們兩個要取得木柴可能不容易，我看你們就買些油，在山上那頭把我火化掉吧。」如此這般，清楚地交代了後事。

11月19日（藏曆十月十一日）上午約十點半，按照法王的意思，隨侍的空培喇嘛陪同法王步行前往安宗寺。突然，法王步往路況不佳的地方，隨侍喇嘛馬上勸阻：「仁波切，不要去那邊，那邊沒有路啊！」結果反遭法王斥責說：「你對肉體的貪著還真是深啊！」於是，法王逕自前行，在該處跌倒後，便示現了圓寂。時約上午十一點半左右。
