Found inThe wheel and the diamond, 1991: t.p. (Dhardo Tulku) p. 9 ("... the Tibetan monk, Thubten Lhundup Legsang, who was known as Dhardo, or Dhando, Rimpoche. He died on 24 March 1990 at the age of seventy-three. ... Dhardo, or Dhando, is a contraction of Dhartsendo, the town in eastern Tibet where he was born, while 'Rimpoche' is the Tibetan honorific, applied to lamas, meaning 'Greatly Precious One'. As a boy, Dhardo Rimpoche was recognized as the incarnation, or tulku, of a chief abbot of the famous Drepung Monastery in central Tibet. Thus he was also known as Dhardo Tulku.") p. 77 (Dando Tulku)
