The Samding Dorje Phagmo (Wylie: བསམ་སྡིང་རྡོ་རྗེ་ཕག་མོ) is the highest female incarnation in Tibet[1] and the third highest-ranking person in the hierarchy after the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama.[2] She was listed among the highest-ranking reincarnations at the time of the 5th Dalai Lama, recognized by the Tibetan government and acknowledged by the emperors of Qing China.[3] In her first incarnation, as Chökyi Drönma (1422 CE–1455 CE), she was the student and consort of the famous polymath Thang Tong Gyalpo,[4] who first identified her as an emanation of Vajravārāhī,[5] and the consort of Bodong Panchen.[6] The seat of the Samding Dorje Phagmo is at Samding Monastery, in Tibet.
