The Shambhala community in Halifax is welcoming its newest member, and possibly its future leader.

Khandro Tseyang, wife of Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, gave birth to a baby girl Friday morning.

Dzedron Okar Yangchen Ziji Mukpo was born at the IWK Health Centre at 4:49 a.m, weighing seven pounds, 15 ounces.

The child will be known as Jetsun Dzedron, which means Princess Lamp of Beauty.

With her usual dignity and strength, the sakyong wangmo, Khandro Tseyang, gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby girl, said Dr. Mitchell Levy, the familys personal physician, in a news release.

Mother, father and the newest addition to the Mukpo family are all doing well.

Jetsun Dzedron is the third of the couples daughters. Jetsun Drukmo and Jetsun Yundra were also born at the IWK in 2010 and 2013, respectively.

Shambhala is a school of Tibetan Buddhism.

Rooted in meditation and the concept of universal human kindness, Shambhala is accepting of anyone seeking a heightened state of spiritual enlightenment.

Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, Shambhalas global and spiritual leader, lives in Halifax with his wife, who is referred to as the sakyong wangmo.
