Khenpo Tsultrim Tenzin Rinpoche
Khenpo Tsultrim Tenzin was born in 1970. At the age of 14 he took
his monk's vows and soon after began his Buddhist studies at Samye
Monastery, the first monastery ever built in Tibet. In 1987,
he traveled to attend the Drikung Kagyu Institute at Jangchub Ling in
Dehra Dun.
He was an outstanding student from the start, and excelled in all of
his subjects. Having completed the first four years of his
studies at Samye Monastery, Khenpo Tsultrim finished the
last five years at Jangchub Ling in Dehra Dun, India.
After three years teaching lower classes in the monastic college,
he was enthroned as a Khenpo in 1998 and spent three more years
teaching Buddhist philosophy at the Institute. He has also completed
the Ngondro and Chakrasamvara practices in retreat. Khenpo
Tsultrim arrived in the US at the Tibetan Meditation Center in Frederick, Maryland
in April 2001, and studies English to be able to convey the precise meaning of Buddhist teachings
clearly to his students.
