Khandro Tsering Chödrön, Khyentse Sangyum, beloved by so many, passed away on the 30^th of May 2011 at Lerab Ling in France.

Sogyal Rinpoche wrote about her in The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying: “In a figure like Khandro Tsering Chödrön, the greatest woman master of our day, who was the wife of my master Jamyang Khyentse, you see very clearly what years of the deepest devotion and practice can create out of the human spirit.

Her humility and beauty of heart, and the shining simplicity, modesty, and lucid, tender wisdom of her presence are honored by all Tibetans, even though she herself has tried as far as possible to remain in the background, never to push herself forward, and to live the hidden and austere life of an ancient contemplative.”

Sogyal Rinpoche and Orgyen Tobgyal Rinpoche were both present at the moment of her passing, when she showed all the signs of attaining the final accomplishment of a great Dzogchen practitioner.

According to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Lerab Ling will be building a stupa in honour of Khandro la. A vast number of prayers and practices are now being sponsored at the main Tibetan Buddhist monasteries of all Four Schools in India, Nepal and Tibet, in Khandro la’s memory.
