Doesn't make sense. True Buddhists do not commit suicide much less a Rinpoche. 'committed many sins and that God would not forgive him' is a not the kind of statement made by Buddhist as eyesoftara said "buddhist tenets rejects the concept of creator God". Doubt if the police will be able to find anything and if, at all connect to the political defeat of the relative.
I agree. Buddhists do not commit suicide let alone a Rinpoche!!! I really wonder about the authenticity of the facts stated. In Buddhism, committing suicide is an act of killing which creates the cause of the person to go straight to hell. I won't be surprised if Rinpoche was murdered and set up to look like he committed suicide. The following is an article from The Arunachal Times.
"ITANAGAR, May 17: One of the greatest Dharma Guru of the Gelugpa Sect of the Himalayan Buddhism, His Eminence the 13th Tsona Gontse Rinpoche, better known as TG Rinpoche, left for his heavenly abode at New Delhi on 16th May. His untimely demise filled his millions of devotees in India and abroad with deep sorrow and grief. He was recognized as reincarnation of Lama Thupten Jampal Wangchuk by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, reports DIPRO, Bomdila.
Late TG Rinpoche was born on 19th August 1967 at Nesar Zhungpatse, Shyro village in Tawang. He started his education at Drepung Loseling Monastery, South India. A doctorate in Buddhist Philosophy, T G Rinpoche served as President of the Himalayan Buddhist Culture Association, New Delhi and worked towards the development of mutual relationships between various cultures and religions of India and endeavoured towards preservation of flora and fauna to maintain a peaceful environment of co-existence of all sentient beings. He was the Minister of State, Industry, Textile and Handicrafts and Cabinet Minister of Tourism, Chairman of Advisory Council for Tourism Development (ACTD), Chairman, Arunachal Pradesh Hydropower Development Corporation, (APHPDC), Govt. of Arunachal Pradesh during his different tenures respectively. He held the position of Chairman, Department of Karmik & Adhyatmik (Chos-rig) Affairs, Govt. of Arunachal Pradesh before he left for the heavenly abode. He assumed the great responsibilities of developing the religious shrines and cultural practices and activities in the Mon region. Numerous monasteries, educational centres, stupas and cottage industries established by him are testimonies of his accomplishments. His noble efforts in providing education to destitute, giving shelter and food to homeless and old age, providing free education and upbringing to orphans received global accolades. He got international recognition as an excellent social worker and fully accomplished spiritual master. He received several national and international awards for his tireless efforts and social works for the well being of people around the world. He became the first ever Buddhist representative from the entire Himalayan region to attend the Millennium Union Nation World Peace Summit at the United Nations Assembly Hall.
With his untimely demise, a pall of gloom has descended over the whole of Mon area. People still find it hard to believe. But they take satisfaction and recourse in the hope and belief that, he would soon reincarnate to lead them on the righteous path and from darkness unto light & to carry on the good deeds for the welfare of the people.
His mortal remains would be flown from Delhi to Bomdila on 18th escorted by Pema Khandu and Phurpa Tsering; both MLAs. The mortal remains would be kept at Gontse Gaden Rabgyeling Monastery, Upper Gompa for a week or so in order to facilitate the hundreds and thousands of devotees to pay their homage and bid adieu.
A meeting of all the HODs and representatives of the Buddhist Culture Preservation Society(BCPS), Mon Bomdila was called this afternoon by DC AK Singh to finalize the whole process and to render every possible help from the district administration and police."
