Denma Locho Rinpoche died last week in his home in McLeod Ganj, India. He was 86 years old.
Born in Tibet in 1928, Locho Rinpoche fled to India in 1959. He became the lineage holder of Ling Rinpoche, the root guru of the Dalai Lama, and served as the abbot of Namgyal Monastery, the personal monastery of the Dalai Lama, from 1986 to 1991.
