Déwé Dorjé
Also known as Üza Khandro and Sera Khandro, Déwé Dorje (1892-1940) was a tertön, Dzogchen teacher and dedicated Buddhist practitioner. Born into a politically powerful family in Lhasa (Central Tibet), she was inspired to flee the comforts of secular life and follow her destiny to the wilds of eastern Tibet in the early 1900s. There she became the consort of Tulku Drimé Özer (1881-1924) and a holder and propagator of the Düdjom Tersar. Déwé Dorjé is counted among the main teachers of Jadral Sangyé Dorjé (1913–2015).
Since the early 8th century, Tibetans and Himalayan people have treasured "Namtars" as written or spoken narratives that demonstrate the realization of the Buddhist path by exceptional practitioners. These namtars, or spiritual biographies, serve as inspirational guides on the path to enlightenment.
Today, Namtars Foundation aims to record, preserve, and freely offer the world a written and electronic treasury of the oral wisdom of Tibetan and Himalayan Buddhism.
