Khandro Thrinlay Chodon

Her story reads like a fairytale. Via her mother’s ancestry, she has royal blood flowing from the line of Songsten Gampo’s minister Lonpo Ghar. Her great-grandfather, Togden Shakya Shri (1853 – 1919), was effectively a “self-made” guru, his mastery so legendary that he rose from a simple nomadic background to become one of Tibet’s most celebrated figures of Dzogchen and Mahamudra.
