His Eminence Tenga Rinpoche will depart for Nepal on Feb 9th
The present 3rd incarnation, Tenga Rinpoche was found at the age of 7, where he began his monastic life and studies. He completed his studies with a 3-year retreat. He studied all the tantric rituals and philosophy with many different accomplished masters. From his uncle, he learnt about traditional Tibetan medicine.
In 1959, he left Tibet and after spending one and a half years in Kalimpong, he settled in Rumtek Monastery (Sikhim), the main seat of His Holiness, the 16th Karmapa. There, he served his Holiness for 17 years, the last 9 years of which he acted as Dorje Lopon (Vajra Master). I
Since 1976, Tenga Rinpoche has been living in Swayambhu, Nepal where he founded Benchen Phunstok Dargyeling Monastery and a retreat centre in Pharping. Tenga Rinpoche is one of the few living meditation masters who still holds the unbroken lineage of the Karma Kagyud tradition.
