'''Tokden Achö''', aka '''Tokden Chökyi Lodrö''' (b. 1932) is the seniormost [[tokden]] of [[Khampagar Monastery]] and the only one still alive from the group of tokdens who originally came out of Tibet with the previous [[Khamtrul Rinpoche Dongyü Nyima]].

==Early Life==
Tokden Achö was born in Tibet and joined Khampagar Monastery in [[Kham]] at the age of 10. He studied for seven years and at seventeen went into [[retreat]] for ten years, receiving teachings from the 8th [[Khamtrul Rinpoche Dongyü Nyima]]. In 1960 he fled to exile in India with Khamtrul Rinpoche. Together with a group of lay followers they were able to set up the [[Tashi Jong]] Community in Kangra Valley, where the new Khampagar Monastery was built.

==Activities==
Tokden Achö has worked hard building up the Khampagar Monastery and community at Tashi Jong while receiving many teachings and [[empowerment]]s from 8th Khamtrul Rinpoche and other realized masters over the years, being in retreat whenever he could. In 1986 he was appointed as personal attendant to the young Gyalwa [[Dokhampa Shedrub Nyima]], the 9th Khamtrul Rinpoche, travelling with him to Asia and Europe, as well as on [[pilgrimage]]s to many holy Buddhist sites.
