At the age of seventeen, he traveled to Shechen Monastery to study with Shechen Kongtrul Rinpoche.
塔唐祖古，貢噶給雷依喜多傑（Tarthang Tulku Künga Gelek Yeshe Dorje，1934/5-），常住美國的寧瑪上師。出生於安多（Amdo）果洛（Golok）地區的阿瓊（Archung），曾在白玉傳承的塔唐寺（Tarthang）接受教育。十七歲到雪謙寺（Shechen Monastery）跟隨雪謙康楚仁波切（Shechen Kongtrul Rinpoche）學習。
From 1953 he spent two years at Dzongsar Monastery where he met his principal guru, Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö from whom he received numerous transmissions and empowerments. In his book ‘Copper Mountain Mandala’ Tarthang Rinpoche writes: “Since he himself was such a great bodhisattva, these transmissions and blessings were very powerful. If my books and other works have had a beneficial influence, helping others move closer to the truth of the Buddha’s teachings, I firmly believe it is due to the power of the bodhicitta lineage that he graciously bestowed upon me.”
自1953年起，他在宗薩寺（Dzongsar Monastery）待了兩年，遇見主要上師蔣揚欽哲確吉羅卓（Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö），獲得大量的口傳和灌頂。塔唐仁波切在其著作《銅山壇城》（Copper Mountain Mandala）中寫道：「因為蔣揚欽哲確吉羅卓是如此偉大的一位菩薩，這些口傳和加持都很有力量。如果我的著作和其他努力曾經帶來有益的影響，幫助他人更為趨近佛陀教法的真諦，我確信這都是來自上師慈悲賜予我的菩提心傳承之力。」
In 1955, Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö sent him to study with the great Mahayoga teacher Adzom Gyalse Gyurme Dorje near Lithang.
1955年，蔣揚欽哲確吉羅卓派他去向理塘（Lithang）附近的一位瑪哈瑜珈大師阿宗嘉瑟久美多傑（Adzom Gyalse Gyurme Dorje）學習。
He left Tibet and went to Sikkim in 1958. Shortly afterwards he taught Buddhist philosophy at the Sanskrit University in Varanasi. He went to America in 1968, and established the Tibetan Nyingma Meditation Center in California. He currently oversees various projects including Dharma Publishing, Yeshe-De, Tibetan Aid Project, and the construction of the Odiyan Copper Mountain Mandala.
