Enthronement of Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

On September 24, 1988, Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo became the first western woman to be both recognized as a "tulku" or reincarnate Lama, and enthroned as a Lineage Holder. His Holiness Penor Rinpoche, along with Ven. Gyatrul Rinpoche, Chojji Rinpoche, and Lama Jampa Rinpoche, were present for the ceremony. It took place during the three month Rinchen Terdzod Empowerments, occuring for the first time in the west. The event was also attended by various national and international media.

@Truth0is You or Your cat? You are thinking that You are hot? Or Your cat heheheh. Learn something about awareness first...

@christine99zc I don't know much about Jetsunma but i think your response is rather harsh and closed minded. HH Penor Rinpoche was an incredible master whose benefit to practitioners is so vast and continues to be after his passing.

i think alot of westerners have alot of self doubt that extends to the idea that an american can be a developed practitioner and teacher. I hope we can evolve past this so that genuine dharma can spread in this country the same way it did to tibet so long ago.

Seeing this video makes me realize how some high lamas have totally sold out for the money. If this woman is of benefit to people other than to take their money, I have a hard time imagining what benefit that is. GROSS

I find that working full time as a night security guard where I have to do very little in terms of work has been excellent for having the leisure to practice my pujas and practice of meditation, and to read Dharma books on company time. Those who are torn between their jobs and practice should strongly consider working as a security guard and fulfilling one's practice.

Alexandra David-Neel was reconigzed as a Tulku? I didn't know that ! As who? Thx for reply ^o^

[thiagofontesdmello]

She was not the first westerner woman to be recognized as a "tulku". Many decades before her, the french writer-traveller madame Alexandra David-Neel was also reconigzed and enthoned. Peace for all!
