Chamtrul Rinpoche is the third in a series of recognized reincarnations in the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. Born in 1963, Rinpoche joined Mardo Tashi Choling Monastery at 14 and continued his training at Kathok monastery and Larung Gar until he was awarded the degree of Khenpo (Doctor of Buddhist Philosophy).

​

Since 1999 Rinpoche is based in Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh, where he runs the Bodhicitta Dharma Centre in Dharamkot. He spends much of the year travelling around the world teaching and giving empowerments and transmissions, at the request of his students, whom he compassionately guides towards inner peace and happiness.
