The 8th Khamtrul Rinpoche, Dongyu Nyima.
By Khamtrul RinpocheUpdated
Born in 1931, the 8th Khamtrul Rinpoche was still quite young when the Chinese invasion of Tibet began in October 1950. He remained in Tibet through the resistance movement in Kham and Amdo in June 1956, but when this was crushed, with serious ramifications for the citizens – including the monks and nuns – he realised he had to leave. In 1958 he left for India with a group of 16 monks and reincarnated lamas. The 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, would leave Tibet soon after, followed the failure of the Lhasa uprising of 1959.
