It looks to me like Khandro RInpoche's sister had a baby. They have a family lineage of female adepts, going back centuries... so it's really quite wonderful that there is a daughter.

Mindrolling is a family lineage that has a monastery.
The Throne-holder is a Ngakpa and as such he cannot
be the abbot of the monastery, usually one of his brothers
is the Mindrolling Khenpo. There is also a female lineage-holder--
the Khandro. Khandro Rinpoche is the current female lineage holder
lama. In each generation there are two if not all three.
That is the tradition there.

"The direct, hard to understand, subtle field of knowing, the Great Path, is non-conceptual (akalpana), and entirely beyond the grasp of intellectual thought. Divorced from verbal ideation, it is difficult to point out and as difficult to enquire into. It cannot be communicated through words and [therefore] is not within the scope of the neophyte (adikarmika). Nevertheless the path is to be approached through studying scriptures (sutra) of the World-Teacher and following the personal instructions (upadesa) of one's Guru-ji."

I see, thanks. And Britton Bosarge is a westerner who is married to Khandro Rinpoche's sister?
