Kushok Chimey Luding

Jetsunma Kushok Chimey Luding (born 1938) is a Buddhist teacher.[1][2] She is the sister of the current head of the Sakya lineage, Sakya Trizin, and the daughter of the previous head of the Sakya lineage, Vajradhara Ngawang Kunga Rinchen.[3] Abiding by family tradition, she took novice ordination at seven years old.[4] Her mother, sister, younger brother, and father died before she was a teenager.[5] In 1959 she left Tibet for India.[2]

In 1971 she moved with her husband and three sons to Canada, where she now lives.[4] Sakya Trizin requested she begin teaching, which she began in the early 1980s.[2] She is now a full-time dharma teacher and the founder of Sakya Thubten Tsechen Ling dharma centre in Vancouver, and Sakya Dechen Ling in Oakland, California.[3]

She is one of fewer than a dozen masters who are qualified to transmit the Lam Dre.[2] She is considered an emanation of Vajrayogini.[4]
