I think she is like a female form of Drubwang Rinpoche who
inaugurated the 100 Million Mani Retreat in Singapore every
year...

A great buddhist practioner, an embodiment of
compassion and loving kindness, a Sherpa Buddhist nun ANI NGAWANG
PEMA passed away into Parinirvana. She is remaining in "Thugdam"
with peace and radiance.
Thugdam (samadhi) is a final stage of meditation. It is
a state of deep meditation, resting in the nature of mind.
During her teenage Ani Ngawang Pema was
the most beautiful girl in Khumbu region. Determined to
be a nun, she rejected marriage proposals from a lot of rich and
famous families and escaped away from her hometown. She went to
Tibet, crossing high Himalayan passes in order to take a refuge
in
Guru, Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. In Tibet she studied budddhism,
learned the meaning of life, recognized the true nature of mind and
became a perfect buddhist nun. After returning back to Khumbu she
stayed in solitery retreat(meditation) to benefit all sentient
beings of six realms of Samsara.
Folliwing a long illness on Friday, November 19. 2010
she withdrew her consciousness into the expanse of Dharmata. A
crowed of faithfuls are gathering in front of her retreat housse in
order to pay her a respect. As per her last wish no one except
Tyangboche lama, her personal attandant and another monk is allowed
go inside the retreat house. His Holiness Trulshik Rinpoche ordered
no one to touch her holy body for at least seven days. As soon as
Thugdam is complete, general public will be informed and may
allowed to pay their respest.
