Lama Zopa Rinpoche

Publicly she is like an ordinary person
Khadro-la’s main purpose for coming from Tibet to India was to serve and protect His
Holiness.
A few years ago, when His Holiness was ill, all the Tibetan doctors agreed that His Holiness
should not have an operation. Even the Nechung oracle agreed. Nechung, who has been the
Tibetan government’s protector from ancient times, appears in a worldly aspect but is, in
reality, the five buddha families, or five Dhyani Buddhas. They invoked the protector and
asked him and even he said not to do the operation. Finally, when His Holiness was in Delhi
he asked his attendants to ask Khadro-la. She said he must have surgery immediately, it was
very important. When the doctor in Delhi operated he discovered gallstones and was
shocked because it was unbelievably dangerous. So Khadro-la’s insisting on the operation
was correct. This is one example of her capacity.
She has also saved several Tibetan people who were about to die, as they were drawing their
last breath. By coming from Tibet she has been able to save the lives of many people,
allowing them to live for several years longer.
Her main responsibility is to look after His Holiness, to protect His Holiness’s life, to help
His Holiness fulfill his holy wishes in the world. That is the most important thing in the
world, to benefit the world. Publicly, she is just like an ordinary person, but in reality she is
beyond that. I have an inner offering from her. Basically, I asked for it. It contains her
blessing, a blessing from the real Vajrayogini.
I think she might have obtained the inner offering in Kullu Manali, one of the two places in
India famous for hot springs. One seems good for the knees and one for the belly. Once I
went there with her. We had arranged a hotel but she didn’t stay there; she stayed at the hot
spring, where the rooms were much cheaper. Many people came day and night.
While she was there she had a competition with Shiva, the Hindu god. Because of Shiva’s
powers, he was carrying unbelievable weapons like in the many stories you hear about him.
He can manifest all kinds of weapons but Khadro-la can also manifest all kinds of weapons
as well, so they were competing. Of course, to the other people in the room it probably
seemed like she was sleeping or something, but in reality this is what happened; she was in
the aspect of Vajrayogini, with her hair standing straight up terrifyingly, competing with
Shiva.
Whatever she did, however she transformed or whatever miraculous power she displayed,
Shiva also did. However, when she sang the hymns of the guru, the hymns of emptiness,
Shiva knelt down and put his head on Khadro-la’s knee. Until then, she was manifesting all
kinds of things and he was able to do the same, but finally manifesting in Vajrayogini’s form
and singing of emptiness was so unimaginable that Shiva knelt down and respected her.
The next day, before she left, she went down to a Shiva temple just to say goodbye. The blue
drawing of Shiva was there just the same so she said goodbye before she left. I think this
also happened at the hotel as well. She explained that this is a very secret story.
