I am a bit confused. It says that he was tutored by Dzongsar Khyentse Choki Lodro, but then it refers to Jamyang Khyentse. I thought he was referred to as Jamyang Khyentse Chöki Lodro, and that his incarnation was Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche. Where have I gone wrong?--Goffperu 21:48, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
