Shukseb Jetsun Choying Zangmo

Jetsunma Shukseb Jetsunma Choying Zangmo (1852–1923) was the most well known of the yoginis in the 1900s, and was considered an incarnation of Machig Lapdron.[1] She was the abbess of Shukseb nunnery, and was a Nyingma Tibetan Buddhist teacher.[2] She made the nunnery once again into a center for the special teachings of the Shugseb Kagyu.[3] The nunnery still exists in Tibet today, and in fact is one of its most active nunneries.[4]
