Jetsun Kushok Chimey Luding was born in Tibet in 1938 into the Khön family that leads the Sakya school, and is the sister of the 41st Sakya Trizin. She gave her first transmission of the Lamdré, one of the few women in the history of the Sakya lineage to do so. After leaving Tibet in 1959 she later settled in Vancouver, where she began teaching in the early 1980s at the request of the Sakya Trizin.
