Khenpo Achö (Wyl. mkhan po a chos) (1918–1998) came from the famous Lumorap monastery in Nyarong, which is closely associated with the great Nyingma foundation of Mindroling in Central Tibet. He had many disciples in the area around Tromgé, Nyarong, and Kandzé. Khenpo Achö attained the rainbow body on a hillside above Lumorap in September 1998. Apart from reports in the regional press, this was the subject of an article, “The Rainbow Body,” in Institute of Noetic Sciences Review 59 (March–May 2002); it was also mentioned by Matthew T. Kapstein in The Presence of Light: Divine Radiance and Religious Experience (University of Chicago Press, 2004).
