About Us

This is the official website of Khentrul Dorje Thokmeth Rinpoche (堪祖透美仁波切). Born in 1970 in Kheng Goling, Bhutan, Rinpoche was recognised by H.H. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche as the reincarnation of Gawé Shenyen Rigzang. He studied the sutras and tantras for ten years at the Ngagyur Nyingma Institute of Kyabje Penor Rinpoche and completed a three-year retreat.

In Bhutan, Rinpoche has restored the Serzhong Dongak Kunzang Choeling Monastery and the Tashiphu Ngagyur Shedrub Choling Nunnery in Gelephu and the Goling temple in his home village, and he is building the main temple in Paro for his sangha. At the request of Kyabje Penor Rinpoche he has taught in Taiwan since 2005, where he founded the Ngagyur Shaydrub Choeling Dharma Centre (舊譯講修林) in Taipei, and he has also taught in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and New Zealand.

On this website we share Rinpoche's news, Dharma activities and teachings, and information about Buddhist ritual services. Please contact us for pujas, prayers and blessings.
