Lamchen Gyalpo Rinpoche was reborn into a aristocratic family in Tibet and is the incarnation of Lhama Phurga. After his escape from Tibet he was member of the Tibetan Parlament for 11 years as Senior Secretary to the Kashag in Dharamsala.  H.H. Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang convinced him to follow H.H. to Dehra Dun where the Drikung Kagyu Institute was founded and established. There he served as his Private Secretary and General Secretary of Drikung Kagyu Institute (Jangchubling) during the time of founding and registering of the Institute. As H.H.’s private and general secretary he worked with H.H. on the history of the Drikung Kagyu tradition. Lamchen Gyalpo Rinpoche received  teachings from many profound masters and practiced them all from the preliminary stages to the arising and completion stages, punctuated with three major retreats and propitiation of deities.

Later he established several Dharma centers in the United States and Taiwan. For the past years Rinpoche has been busy traveling around the world to share his extensive knowledge of the Dharma to his many students.
