About the 12th Shabdrung Choewang Drakpa Rinpoche
Shabdrung Rinpoche was born on 9th September 1976 to a small nomadic family in Ladakh, Northern Himalayan region. In 1988, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama recognized him as the reincarnation of the 11th Shangshung Choewang Dakpa, one of the greatest disciples of Lama Je Tsongkhapa, the founder of Gelugpa Tradition. In that same year, he was enrolled in Sera Monastery and Venerable Kyabje Choenden Rinpoche laid the basic foundation and gave his unwavering support for acquiring the in-depth knowledge of Buddhist Philosophy and practice. In same year, he was blessed to ordain the vows of probationer (Sramanerah) from His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Currently, he is spending most of his time in mediation; receiving various commentaries, Empowerments and oral transmissions of Sutrayana and Tantrayana from His Holiness the Dalai Lama and other learned Buddhist teachers.
