Rinpoche was born on 27th July 1940 in Menya, Eastern Tibet. In 1945, Rinpoche was recognized as the reincarnation of the 9th Kyabgoen of Dagyab (Patron of Dagyab). Rinpoche studied at the Drepung monastery, one of the 3 main monastic universities in Central Tibet and has also achieved the title of Geshe Lharampa (a qualification which is equivalent to the PHD degree in Indian universities), the highest degree awarded in Tibetan Buddhism.
In 1966, Rinpoche was invited by the University of Bonn to Germany, and became a research scientist in the field of Tibetan studies at the University. After several requests from people in Germany for Buddhist teachings, Rinpoche started to give teachings in the Europe, which led to the founding of Choedzong Buddhist Center in Erlangen, Bavaria in 1984. Rinpoche travels to many parts of the world to give Dharma teachings, and is especially known in the West for his practise-oriented, intensive and enthusiastic way of teaching Tantra. Rinpoche has since given Dharma teachings in many parts of the world including Holland, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Brazil, America, Singapore, Malaysia, India and Tibet. In his teachings, he emphasizes the importance of practicing the Buddha Dharma in a simple way without cultural bias and he greatly encourages his students to integrate Buddhist practice into daily life. He teaches in the Tibetan, English and German language.
