Jamgön Kongtrul passed away on the twenty-seventh day of the eleventh month of the earth-pig year of the fifteenth sexagenary cycle. Nesar Tashi Chöpel, who recorded the date, likely used the Tsurpu calendrical system, for which the Tibetan date would translate to December 29, 1899. The more commonly used Pukpa system had two eleventh months in the earth-pig year, leading scholars to give Kongtrul's death as falling either on December 29, 1899 (the first eleventh month), or January 28, 1900 (the second). +
Birth year: 1729/1730. +
Alternate death year is 1941. +
