Maha Parinirvana:
His Eminence passed from this world into Nirvana, at the age of 87, on 22nd January 2007, corresponding to 4th of the twelfth Tibetan month, at 6.30am at his retreat house, Narayanthan, Kathmandu, Nepal.
For an entire 16 days, he remained in the post-death state of meditative absorption called Thukdam. As a sign of achieving realization of luminosity, devoid of all fabrications and free from the stains of dualistic appearances of subject and object, his Kudung or Holy Body remained radiant without any odor.
On the day His Eminence's Kudung was brought to the Monastery in Boudha, the sky was crystal clear, and the moment the Kudung entered into the circle of Boudhanath stupa, a rainbow parasol appeared in the sky. Witnessing this directly, devotees were moved and shaken by faith, and erupted into joyful comments.
Until the cremation, Rinpoche's Kudung was enshrined in a beautifully decorated prayer hall, where thousands of devotees came from far and wide to receive the blessings of his Holy Body.During that period, there occurred a surprising snowfall in Kathmandu, the first in 62 years, in the form of a shower of “flowers”. As such, the after-death events of His Eminence have put the disciples in a state of great joy mixed with sorrow, which has prompted them to eulogize His Eminence.
大涅槃：
西元2007年1月22日(藏曆的12月4日)清晨六點三十分，尊貴的 究給企千仁波切於尼泊爾加德滿都納南坦(Narayanthan)他的關房中涅槃，享年87歲。
整整16天，仁波切維持在進入圓寂前之禪定狀態，此一狀態稱為(Thukdam)吐丹，此乃一大成就者之象徵，清靜無染污、離於心物二元之戲論，他的法體(Kudung)沒有任何異味。 在將仁波切的法體(Kudung)移往位於博大(Boudha)的寺廟那一天，天空如水晶般的清朗，當法體進入博大(Boudhanath)的大佛塔時，天上出現了一座傘形的彩虹，於此時，信眾們去除了原本動搖的信心，而進入愉快的議論此一示現。
在荼毗之前，仁波切的法體供奉於莊嚴的大殿，讓數以千計來自世界各地的信眾瞻仰，並得到仁波切的加持。
在這段期間奇異的是，加德滿都降下已62年未見的瑞雪，其形狀如花一般，此種異象讓許多信眾們心中混雜著悲喜參半的感覺，也激發起他們對尊貴的仁波切的頌揚。
Cremation Ceremony:
On the auspicious occasion of the cremation of His Eminence Chogye Trichen Rinpoche, the day Buddha displayed miracles, the sacred rites of the cremation began early in the morning. The cremation was held in the garden of Jamchen Lhakhang Monastery, with simultaneous rituals of four deities in the four directions, presided over by His Holiness Sakya Trizin, H. E. Ratna Vajra Rinpoche H. E. Luding Khenchen Rinpocheand H. E. Luding Khen Rinpoche along with many high lamas. A crowd of faithful devotees watched with tearful eyes and folded hands as Rinpoche's Kudung was offered to the flames in the elaborate ritual. A stunning array of beautiful flowers decorated the cremation stupa, which was the focus of attention and prayer for the huge assembly gathered to pay their last respects.
During the ritual, many people reported seeing five colored flames, and other auspicious signs.

This auspicious day was the clearest of blue sunny days. It is rare in Kathmandu Valley to see such a clear day – without even the faintest wisp of cloud or dust, it has been said that this is a sign of the clarity of His Eminence's realization.Thisunusual sky remained until the completion of the rituals and the sealing of the cremation stupa. During the following week, many interesting cloud patterns formed above the stupa and rainbows were visible around the sun and in the clouds on several occasions.
After ten days, the cremation stupa was opened by H.E. Luding Khenchen Rinpoche. Holy relics, bones and ashes were collected carefully, and placed into containers for the necessary rituals. Again on that day, a rainbow appeared encircling the sun.
On the fiftieth day after His Eminence's passing into Nirvana, a large assembly of monks from all Traditions gathered at the Boudhanath stupa to make aspiration to benefit all sentient beings. A downpour of blessings fell from the sky at the conclusion of the prayer – a sign of the great blessings of our guru and rainbows appeared again as the shower passed.
荼毗大典：
舉行荼毗大典當天，博大再度示現了奇景，荼毗大典於一大早開始，地點是位於大彌勒寺(Jamchen Lhakhang)的花園。在荼毗塔的四方分別進行著四個不同本尊的儀軌修法，四個方位主法的上師分別是尊貴的 薩迦法王、尊貴的 法王子大寶金剛仁波切、尊貴的 祿頂堪千仁波切及尊貴的 祿頂堪仁波切與其他許多大喇嘛們，而信眾們則是眼中含淚雙手合掌，隨著儀式的進行觀看著仁波切的法體供奉入火燄中，展現出令人驚嘆的火光，猶如美麗的花朵一般莊嚴了荼毗塔，好像是展現出所有集結在此的眾生對仁波切深切的祈請和最後的禮敬。 在荼毗儀式進行時，許多人都說他們看到了五色的火燄和殊勝的異像。
在此殊勝的日子，加德滿都山谷出現了少見的晴朗藍天，天空潔淨地看不到一絲雲彩或塵埃。有一種說法，這如同是尊貴的 仁波切所證悟的覺受一般清澈的示現。清澈的藍天一直維持到荼毗大典圓滿結束並封閉了荼毗塔之後，在接下來的一週，荼毗塔的上方聚集了許多形狀奇特的雲彩，而數次肉眼可見到彩虹圍繞在太陽周圍或顯現在雲中。
十天之後，由尊貴的祿頂堪千仁波切將荼毗塔打開，並將殊勝的舍利子、骨片和骨灰等等小心收集 起來置入容器中，以備日後重要的 修法時使用，當天亦出現了一道彩虹環繞著太陽。
在仁波切涅槃後的第十五天，來自各個傳承的僧侶們聚集在波達大佛塔為仁波切修法，並將功德迴向給所有眾生。在法會即將結束之際，傾盆大雨從天而降，雨後天空出現了彩虹這象徵著來自上師極大的加持。
