An Appreciation of Sherab Chödzin Kohn Our vajra brother, Dharma Holder of Transcendent Wisdom, has passed into the Clear Light He is a true heart son of the wondrous mahasiddhi Ocean of Dharma, Chögyam Trungpa Through his devotion and dharma activity he has set an example for all believers He was a force of nature tamed by the vajra guru to be the consummate messenger of truth Our vajra brother, Dharma Holder of Transcendent Wisdom, is a beacon of erudite integrity He contemplated the dharma, practiced the dharma, and became a living emanation of dharma In this world of illusion he was only interested in the beneficial and true, without compromise He was a giant of a man with the voice of a lion and the exactitude and grace of a ballerina Our vajra brother, Dharma Holder of Transcendent Wisdom, is a true warrior of Shambhala Within his wisdom mind are the blessings of the Rigden Kings and their sublime mission Through his example and speech he will continue to inspire would be dakas and dakinis He will reappear at the time of the twenty-fifth Rigden Chokyi Khorlo Chen, as his noble counsel Our vajra brother, Dharma Holder of Transcendent Wisdom, is the invisible yogi householder Within his ordinary mind appear the host of deities and bodhisattvas in simplicity Through his diligence and humor, the rudra of arrogance, has been tamed He was a vajra master with no need of title or recognition, a wonderful husband and father All vajra brothers and sisters who dwell in the great mandala of Ocean of Dharma and all beings touched by the mind, smile, lovingness, warmth, and wrath of Sherab Chödzin, let us cry at this passing, and let us rejoice at this passing. His parting message of death is an inspiration to all— “No big deal.” This offering composed with love on the New Moon January 2020 by his friend and admirer, Rinchen Chödzin Bercholz.
