>Dzogchenpa Karma Rinpoche, who attained the Small Rainbow Body
>This photo shows Lama Karma’s body just after passing away. His body size was about 175cm (approx. 5’9”) tall
>Dzogchen Lama Karma Rinpoche passed away on the 11th of November, 2013. He lived in retreat near Dzogchen Monastery in Eastern Tibet. After his passing his physical body dramatically shrunk in size. Lama Karma’s body was about 175cm (approx. 5’9”) tall, but two weeks after he passed away, his seated body has now shrunk to about 20cm (approx. 8”), which means his body, including his skeleton, shrank nearly 80%. According to Dzogchen tantra, this kind of miraculous display shows he has attained the Small Rainbow Body or Jalü Phowa Chung ('ja' lus 'pho ba chung), which is a sign that he has attained the supreme accomplishment of Buddha in this very life.
