Photo alleged to be that of Dza Patrul Rinpoche (1808-1887).

Photo of the Regent, Reting Rinpoche, Lhasa, circa 1938.
Original in German Federal Archives.



Now, go write on the blackboard 100,000 times:

All appearances are deception. All appearances are deception. All appearances are deception. All appearances are deception. All appearances are deception. All appearances are deception. All appearances are deception. All appearances are deception. All appearances are deception. All appearances are deception. All appearances are deception. All appearances are deception. All appearances are deception. All appearances are deception. All appearances are deception....

(Looks like somebody's wires got crossed again.)

  2. Lets rememeber that Reting Rinpoche was 36 when he died. The 'Dzogchen Dza Patrul Rinpoche' photo bears a striking resemblance to Reting Rinpoche, however, the Dza Patrul Rinpoche photo looks like he is a man in his 40s or 50s. So I am not totally convinced that this is a photo of Reting Rinpoche. Maybe they are relatives?

    They look very different don't you think?
