Adeu Rinpoche's story is not about the horrors he endured under the
Communist takeover of Tibet--he himself notes that many other
people underwent much worse hardships, not to mention all those
that died--but rather the way in which he told his tale. While
describing what happened to him and many others, how he survived
and finally his release from prison he spoke in a straightforward,
dignified manner without any resentment, anger or sadness. He never
added mental anguish on top of an already untenable experience. He
viewed what happened to him as a ripening of his own individual
karma, he accepted responsibility for the abuse he suffered; in
fact, he repeatedly stated that each person suffered according to
their own karma, as he said, "I felt that whatever befalls you is a
ripening of the specific karma that you created in the past."
Adeu Rinpoche took the trauma and suffering as an opportunity not
only to accept the vicissitudes of life without bitterness but also
to transcend the unjust treatment by not harboring ill-will against
the perpetrators, instead developing compassion for them. In the
end he turned suffering into happiness, for even while imprisoned
he was able to meet many great masters, receive teachings from them
and even do some serious practice. It is truly inspiring that
people exist in our world with such profound realization and
accomplishment--they are examples to us all.
This tale together with wonderful teachings presents a
compassionate and wise face to the hardship Adeu Rinpoche and so
many others endured and triumphed over. It is a banquet of
realization, pith instructions and dignity.
