Sacred Sites of Khandro Yeshe Tsogyal in Tibet: Photos
We now have a two-hour slideshow created and presented by Lama Dechen Yeshe Wangmo whenever she travels and also via video Skype meetings. If you're interested in arranging a presentation, please contact her at: yeshe@jnanasukha.org.
We're posting photos online at SmugMug. The current galleries include Drakda Latso where Khandro Yeshe Tsogyal was born; Zabbulung where she attained the rainbow body in Western Tibet; Chimphu where she practiced with Guru Rinpoche; Onphu Taksang where she received the Vajra Kilaya empowerment; Terdrom Zhoto Tidro where she practiced anuyoga; and Yarlung Crystal Cave Sheldrak where she hid treasures, such as Pema Katang, the biography of Guru Rinpoche. More galleries to come, so keep checking at: www.jnanasukha.smugmug.com
