Namkha Rinpoche

Autobiography

I was born in 1969 AD at Chudei Drong, as a son of Kelsang Tsultrim and Yangchen. I learned Tibetan reading and writing from Rinpoche Lodol Gyaltsal from 5 years old until 14 years. I also learned Chinese language and mathematics from government schools.

When I was 15 years old I became monk under Luden Khen Rinpoche. From 15 to 18 years old I learned all the skills and knowledge of a monk in monastery and at the end of 18 years old. I stayed in Dzonsar Sheda. under Khenpo Pema Thamche and studied philosophy for 7 years. At 25 years old I was declared Khenpo.
At 26 years old I did retreat at Chudei monastery for 2 years. Then I started to build a Sheda by myself , it took 3 whole years for me and there
I kept 30 new monks.

In 2000 AD Nyingma lama Rongto Gyatse Rinpoche declare me as the incarnation of 7th Rinzin Namkha Gyalpo Rinpoche. Following are the names of 6 Rinzin Namkha Gyalpo Rinpoche's incarnations:

1. Khachu Palch Wangchuk
2. Rinzin Matrana
3. Rinzin Chuja Lingpa
4. Kalung Demey Duntong
5. Pawo Thutop Chal
6. Rinzin Namkha Gyalpo

Now I am in Nyingma Gonpa "Dechen Samten Chukur Ling". There many years ago, use to be 13 Rinpoches and around 1000 monks but now there are only 6 Rinpoches including me and there are 300 monks. I'm the biggest Rinpoche over there. My future plan is to make a school and hospital for the Tibetan people and make Sheda and Dupda for the monks but due to lack of economic facilities I can't do anything now. So I wish to get some help from you in future.

When we met in Chengdu you said that you will visit our monastery in future. So I am waiting for that day.
