ONE WORLD
22/8/2017

Kachen Dugyal passed away in meditation at Kee village, Spiti in 1998. Following the directions of H.H. the Dalai Lama, on June 26, 2011 searchers from Spiti found his reincarnation in Leh, Ladakh. The boy's name was Rinchen Namgyal, son of Tsewang Norbu. On August 8 the office of the Dalai Lama sent a letter to the searchers confirming that the boy was the reincarnation of Kachen Dugyal. On September 8 the boy, with an entourage of monks and lay Buddhists, traveled from Leh to Spiti for a series of events. These included official recognition as the reincarnation of Kachen Dugyal at Kee Gompa, and becoming the student of Lochen Rinpoche Tulku. After leaving Spiti, Rinchen Namgyal went to Dharamsala where he met with H.H. the Dalai Lama, the Karmapa Lama, and other lamas and Buddhist teachers. He is currently studying at the Sera Je in Karnataka. www.kondawtenz74107@gmail.com
