Her late husband, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, was a distinguished teacher, of among others the Dalai Lama. He has been reincarnated as the Yangsi or 'newborn'. The young Yangsi is one of the leaders presiding over the cremation of Khandro Lhamo, who in his past life had been his wife.
We see the extensive and colorful cremation, presided over by the most distinguished leaders of various Tibetan schools, partly because Khandro Lhamo was the Sangum of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, head of the Nyingmapas.
It may well be one of the last times the leaders of a Tibetan Buddhist cremation were actually born in Tibet. The importance of direct transmission during the rituals on to the new generation is therefore given extra weight by this cremation. Trulchik Rinpoche, Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, Tenga Rinpoche, Yangsi, Neten Choling, as well as daughter Semo Chime Wangmo and Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche share their views.
