ABOUT THE TEACHER
Venerable Tengyur Rinpoche is a Geshe Lharampa graduate from Sera Jey Monastery, a junior English translator for His Holiness the Dalai Lama since 2012, currently doing a Master’s program at Harvard Divinity School.
Tengyur Rinpoche was born in 1981 in Mon Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh, India. His father is from Tawang Zhol village and his mother, who relocated to Tawang before 1959, is originally from Lhasa. He is the sixth oldest among ten siblings.
In 1990, at the age of nine, he formally joined Sera Jey Monastery in Bylakuppe. The following year His Holiness the Dalai Lama recognized Tengyur Rinpoche as the reincarnation of Drengkhar Khensur Urgen Gonpo, one of the former abbots of Tawang Monastery. Subsequently he was recognized at Sera Je Monastery and Gaden Namgyal Lhatse Monastery in Tawang.
