Venerable Sampho Jigme Wangchen Rimpoche passed away earlier this month at his home in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. Born in Lhasa, he was a direct descendent of the 7th Dalai Lama. He was recognised as the reincarnation of Drubwang Tokden Shakya Shri, the Chagchen and Dzogchen Master from Kham. He served in the Tibetan Government-in-Exile as well as volunteering for Tibetan Buddhist causes and was known for his musical ability.
