Community, Calling, and Connection with Dagmo Kalden Dunkyi Sakya
Dagmo Kalden Dunkyi Sakya has been married to Ratna Vajra Rinpoche, the 42nd Sakya Trizin, since 12 September 2002 and she is highly esteemed by her Vajrayana peers for her charm, amiability, and wit.
Ratna Vajra Rinpoche is widely regarded as the second most important figure in the Sakya tradition after his father, His Holiness Kyabgon Gongma Trichen Rinpoche.
Dagmo-la is a senior female member of the family and is actively engaged in various projects, dedicating her time, care, and service.
She is one of the few senior members of a lineage-holding family to be an active user of social media, and indeed an influencer.
Born in 1978 in Kalimpong, Sikkim, there was initially little indication of the religious life she would lead.
Since getting married and starting a family in 2002, Dagmo-la has become increasingly passionate about social work, especially when she realized how much influence and potential she had to make a difference.
She now has a range of ways to assist people while also involving members of the local community.
