He passed on in California in the early 2000s. He was a "Spiritual Friend" which is what Geshe Means in the Gelukpa tradition of the Dalai Lama and he walked out of Tibet From Lhasa and was one of those who survived the air attacks on the way to India where India gave the Dalai Lama and his Tibetan Refugees Dharamshala, India for the "Tibetan Government in Exile".
I first met Geshe Lobsang Gyatso in Santa Cruz where he was sent to help Lama Yeshe pass over and become reincarnated as a Spanish Boy so he could continue to be a Tibetan Lama in his next incarnation.
Geshela's (endearing name for Geshe Lobsang Gyatso) specialty was White Tara which is "the Mother of all the Buddhas.
If you have studied Tibetan Buddhism you know that many of the Tibetan Lamas are "Living Buddhas" and are gifted in various ways.
Geshela at one point I asked him if I was an Oracle. However, what I didn't understand then was that an Oracle in Tibetan Buddhism is not for spiritual people like myself. Geshela told me if I was a Tibetan Oracle that I would die. I asked him more about this and he said. Most of the Tibetan Oracles are very common people not necessarily spiritual people. He said that in order to be a Tibetan Oracle you have to allow yourself to be Possessed by very powerful spirits and that you might fly around the room unless a 150 pound head dress is placed upon your head to keep you from flying around.
I think I naively thought then that a Tibetan Oracle was the same as the Oracles of Greece which is not the case at all. Looking back it is funny just how naive and uninformed I was then when Geshela first came back from India with his with his English Translator Lobsang, his nephew from Darjeeling, India who was then about 25 years old (his translator).
There is also "the Turning of the Dharma Wheel" where time and space is altered in someone trying to do dharma work to enlighten all mankind and White Tara (the mother of all the Buddhas) is a part of this too.
