Recognized by Tenzin Gyatso as the reincarnation of Kyabje Tsenshap Serkong Tugse Rinpoche, he was born in 1984 in the Spiti Valley of the Indian Himalayas.
He entered Ganden Jangtse Monastery at the age of six, receiving a full training in philosophy, debate, and practice.
He later studied in Dharamshala, earning a degree in Madhyamika Philosophy.
On the advice of the Dalai Lama, he studied English in Canada, enabling him to teach internationally.
He now teaches as a lay teacher, based in Dharamshala.
He teaches extensively in India and internationally across Europe, North America, and Asia, often within the network of the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition.
His approach combines philosophical precision with accessibility, marked by clarity, humility, and a sense of humor.
His teachings include classical texts, meditation guidance, and practical application of Dharma in everyday life.
