Diki Tsering

Diki Tsering (德吉才仁, c. 1901 – 12 January 1981)[1] was the mother of three reincarnated Rinpoches/Lamas: the mother of Lhamo Thondup, Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th reincarnated Dalai Lama, the mother of Thubten Jigme Norbu, the 6th reincarnated Taktser Rinpoche, and the mother of Tendzin Choegyal, the 16th reincarnated Ngari Rinpoche. In the article The Discourse of Lama, Qianlong Emperor condemned families with multiple reincarnated Rinpoches/Lamas,[2] and reincarnated lamas including the Dalai Lama and Panchen Lama.

In Diki's biography Dalai Lama, My Son: A Mother's Story, she described her life in China, and India. She also described that there was word that Tenzin Gyatso was not the real 14th Dalai Lama. After death of Reting Rinpoche, since Golden Urn was not he started policy (Article One of The 29-Article Ordinance for the More Effective Governing of Tibet) of using lot-drawing process with Golden Urn to pick used in the lot-drawing selection process, the word was that a relative of the thirteenth Dalai Lama, Ditru Rinpoche was the real 14th Dalai Lama. To eliminate doubt from the Kashag, it was decided to use lot-drawing process by placing both names in an urn, and shake the urn, and the name Lhamo Thondup fell out.[3]
