+On the very night of Dodrupchen’s death, his spiritual testament was
+received by his principal disciple, Do Khyentse.  Dodrupchen appeared in the
+sky in a radiant light body and an attire of lights.  He was floating on a
+carpet of light, which was held up by four dakinis.  In a very enchanting
+voice he sang the verses of his testament, which include the following lines:
+
+    I am going into the expanse of the Wisdom of the Ultimate Sphere,
+    Which is the state that transcends thoughts and expressions.
+    I am going into the state of Mirrorlike Wisdom,
+    Which is the ceaseless clear glow, fresh and open.
+    I am going into the expanse of the Wisdom of Evenness,
+    In which all the thoughts of grasping and grasper have vanished into the
+        ultimate sphere.
+    I am going into the Wisdom of Discriminative Awareness,
+    Which is the clarity, the dawn of six kinds of foreknowledge.
+    I am going into the state of the Wisdom of Accomplishment,
+    Which emanates various manifestations in accordance with [the needs of]
+        trainable beings.
+
+    Son, please stay healthy.
+    Now you have won over the obstructions of your life.
+    Until all the phenomenal existents are liberated as the signs and
+        teachings [of Dharma],
+    [You should be] aware of samsara and nirvana as dreams and illusions.
+    Dedicate yourself to the meditation where there is no reference point.
+    This is the empowerment of total entrustment and aspiration.
+    This is the supreme empowerment of empowerments.
