Teacher
Losal Drölma
1802–1861
Ḍākki Losel Drolma (1802–1861) was a remarkable Tibetan Buddhist practitioner, recognized for her deep spiritual achievements and her contributions to the religious legacy of her brother, the treasure revealer Do Khyentse Yeshe Dorje. Born in the Golok region, she received teachings from some of the most esteemed masters of her time, including Dodrubchen Jigme Trinle Wozer and others at monasteries like Drigung Til and Katok. Renowned for her visionary experiences, including manifestations as Ḍākinī emanations, she played a critical role in preserving and disseminating treasure teachings, earning titles such as "dharma custodian." Despite familial constraints preventing formal recognition as a tulku, she maintained significant influence in spiritual and educational spheres, serving her community, family, and lineage with profound devotion until her passing.
