SIBLAC mourns passing away of Khyentse Sangyum Khandro Tsering Chodron

GANGTOK, 02 June: The Sikkim Bhutia Lepcha Apex Committee [SIBLAC] has “deeply mourned” the passing away of the Khyentse Sangyum Khandro Tsering Chodron on 30 May at Lerab Ling in France, informs a press release.
Khyentse Sangyum, the greatest female practitioner of contemporary Buddhist history, spent most of her life in Sikkim where her spiritual husband and Master Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo Chokyi Lodrue lived and attained Parinirvana. He was cremated at the sacred Thakar Tashiding as he had wished. She had taken a vow to remain alongside the Kudung (remains) of the late Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo Chokyi Lodrue that rested at the Tsuglhakhang in Gangtok till some years ago.

Her humility and compassion, and tender wisdom of her presence are honored by all, even though she has lived a secluded austere life of an ancient contemplative, the release mentions.
The late Khyentse Sangyum will always be esteemed by her Sikkimese devotees and remain symbolic as the Lo-dho Nampa Ji (reversal of mind) .We pray for her swift re-incarnation, the release further states.
