In Diki's biography Dalai Lama, My Son: A Mother's Story, she mentioned that there was word that Lhamo Dhondup was not the real 14th Dalai Lama. After death of Reting Rinpoche, since Golden Urn was not used in the lot-drawing selection process, there was rumor that a relative of the thirteenth Dalai Lama was the real 14th Dalai Lama. To eliminate doubt from the Kashag, it was decided to use lot-drawing process by placing both names in an urn to confirm the real 14th Dalai Lama.[3]

Tibet expert, professor Shen Kaiyun (沈开运) of Tibet University clarified that Diki Tsering's husband Choekyong Tsering (Chinese:祁却才让) died in 1947, shortly after, Reting Rinpoche also died in 1947, both were poisoned by separatists. [4][5]
