2894 A Tibetan from Kham province smiles benevolently. June 2010

In June 1995, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (1910-1991), one of the great masters of Tibetan Buddhism of our time, visited Tibet for the first time since his 30-year exile. As an intriguing coincidence would have it, twenty-five years later in June 2010 the young lama considered as his reincarnation visited the very same places in Eastern Tibet. He was welcomed with the same fervor as his predecessor, and was accompanied by Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche, Khyentse Rinpoche’s grandson and abbot of Shechen Monastery, who had been a part of the first visits with Khyentse Rinpoche.
