Khandro Rinpoche

Born in 1967 in the Tibetan refugee family of Mindroling Rinpoche, Khandro Rinpoche received both a traditional Tibetan education and a modern Western one. At a young age she was recognized as the incarnation of the Great Khandro of Tsurphu who was an emanation of Yeshe Tsogyal and the consort of the Fifteenth Karmapa. Her main spiritual teachers are Mindroling Trichen Rinpoche, the Sixteenth Karmapa, and Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. Khandro Rinpoche is a lineage holder in the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. She heads her father’s monastery, Karma Chokhor Dechen Nunnery, and Samten Tse Retreat Center in Mussoorie. She also teaches widely in the West. (Photo by Birrell Walsh)
