COMING HOME - the cremation of Khandro Lhamo

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.

a beautiful tribute thanks for capturing this ritual as who knows how long it will continue in this form as the elder Rinpoches leave us. Loved Dzongsar Khyentse's comment "realizing there is no samsara is nirvana" so succinct. He always impresses me.

Yes, you're right. There is not a single proof of soul and that is why buddhism doesn't claim there is soul. All it says is Mind and continuity of mind. :-)

[@ibehl]

Is that all that you have to say ? ...

[@rybpo7]

Really? Wow! We should let the Buddha know!

[@ruzickaw]

why make such a big deal with a rotten corps- Burn it and throw the ashes away. These Tibetan Lamas are as unfree as any ordinary people. Clinging to rites and rituals is one of the fetters.

[@rybpo7]

Oh, a BOOK. Well, then, it MUST be true!
