Dolpo: Tulku

Dolpo Tulku was born in the twelfth month of the Tibetan Iron Bird Year (1981) in the Dho Tarap valley in Dolpo. When he was ten years old, he decided to join Kanying Monastery, in Boudha / Nepal. A few months later he was recognized to be the reincarnation of the Dolpo Lama Nyinchung Rinpoche. For his further education Dolpo Tulku entered at the age of 16 the Namdroling Monastery in South India, where he studied, debated and researched all the sutra and tantra teachings of Lord Buddha for ten years under more than forty scholars and masters including His Holiness Penor Rinpoche. He also studied Tibetan literature, Poetry, Tibetan History and Tibetan Religious History. In the summer 2008 Dolpo Tulku returned to Dolpo to get enthroned in his monasteries in Dho Tarap, Saldang and Namgung. Thus, he got the responsibility to guide the three main monasteries, three retreat centers and the people of Dolpo.
