On September 20, 2018, Dharma King Gar Tongstan left this world in a perfectly liberated state, just as he had predicted he would. He said he would leave this world after a “last dharma assembly.” That is what happened. Right after the perfect completion of the holy fire offering dharma assembly on September 19, in the grand hall of Shakyamuni Buddha, the Tremendously Great Holy Virtuous One announced, “Today’s grand dharma assembly has been practiced.
