Vajravarahi and Durga
This photo, from about 30 years ago, is of the abbess of Samding, who is thought to incarnate Dorje Phagmo. (Samding is on the shores of Yamdrok Tso [lake].) She is the only woman to head a Tibetan Buddhist monastery [of men]. The 12th [?] tulku was recognized in 1937 [Chinese sources give 1947,] and in 1959 made it to India but returned to Tibet when the southern climate did not agree with her. (The unrelenting heat was a contributing factor in the death of many of the refugees.)
