Ishe Spaldes obituary.

In the first Nyerma deceased nun. Ishe Spaldes was one of the oldest nuns Nyerma and lived there from the beginning. Last summer she was reasonably fit. After a brief hospitalization, she died. She was somewhere in the 80 and despite her advanced age she was a powerful woman.

Its main characteristic was its very recognizable. Main characteristic that she had her nickname "monkey" to thank.

Spaldes Ishe was the one who sang the prayer meetings in Nyerma. If she was not there was clearly audible to the hesitant efforts and sometimes not so clean tones. We need to see who takes over this task.

In Buddhism, death belongs to life. Yet her death for the other nuns, particularly because it is the first in Nyerma. She is, as usual in Buddhism, after performing rituals cremated.

The monastery in Nyerma will still be a bit different without her.
