About Rinpoche:
The second Che-nga Rinpoche was born at Lhasa in 1974. He is Lamkhyen Gyalpo Rinpoche's nephew,
belonging to the Brong-me family of Nangchen in the Kham area. His father, Dan-dzin Rinpoche, is a Karma
Kagyu Rinpoche in Nangchen.
In 1985, after graduating from high school, Che-nga was ordained at Tsurpu Monastery, the root Monastery
of Karma Kagyu School, and then he joined the three year three month retreat. In 1997, Ming-ling Khri-chen
(Smin gling Khri chen) Rinpoche, the head of Nyingma School, recognized him as the reincarnation of Che-nga
Drag-pa Jung-ne. Both the Drikung Kyab-gon Rinpoches agreed on this special recognition.
Kyab-gon Che-tshang Rinpoche enthroned him as Che-nga Rinpoche at Byangchub-ling Monastery in India
on March 15th, 1999. Che-nga Rinpoche now stays at Gampopa Vajrayana Buddhist Center in New Jersey
and assists Lamkhyen Gyalpo Rinpoche in giving dharma teachings. He has also engaged in retreat for several
months since coming to America. He also kindly participated in the movie “Yogis of Tibet,” and along with
many other great yogis revealed things about this esoteric Path of renunciation not before known outside
of the tradition.
********************
The teachings are free, however, the Sangha incurs many expenses in bringing qualified teachers to Chicago.
Donation amounts are a suggestion, and no one will be turned away because of an inability to pay.
