Rangzen Lobga-la,
You are the true hero who deserves to stand as a model of struggle for all Tibetans, both those living in Tibet and those living in exile.
While you were alive, you were a good man of fine character who lived in harmony with everyone, and one worthy of serving as an example to all Tibetans.
Now that you have departed, you have become a mighty hero capable of shaking up the whole world, and many tens of thousands of people are offering prayers for you.
You are the true thunderous battle cry, as though our forefather King of Tibet, Songtsen Gampo himself had deliberately appeared, awakening the Tibetan people from their slumber in the struggle.
You were not merely a man of words, but a true and valiant Khampa hero who genuinely possessed devotion and love for the Tibetan people.
Victory to Tibet!
Victory to independence!
Victory to Rangzen Lobga!
