One of the more dominant figures in Blazing Splendor was Chimey Dorje, grandson of the great treasure master, a rogue turned siddha, and father to Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche. The view on this picture is from the stupa containing his remains at the distant hermitage Dechen Ling. Marcia and I reached this hermitage-nunnery after two days on horseback from Lachab through a spectacular landscape. Mac (George MacDonald had sponsored the restoration of this stupa on a previous visit. At Dechen Ling we saw one of Tulku Urgyen's female disciples who has taken the vow to stay in retreat for the rest of her life.
