Gyalwa Dokhampa Shedrub Nyima, the Ninth Khamtrul Rinpoche (b. 1982)[1] was born in Assam, India, and continues the illustrious tradition of his enlightened predecessors—the Khamtrul Rinpoches of the Drukpa Kagyü tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Recognized by His Holiness the 16th Karmapa and Kyabgön Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, he is the supreme head of Khampagar Monastery in Kham, overseeing more than 200 monasteries and nunneries in Eastern Tibet as well as its present seat in Tashi Jong, India, where the tradition of tokdens, or realized yogis, is continued to this day.
He received intensive training and the complete transmission of the Drukpa Kagyü lineage from his main teachers H.E. Dorzong Rinpoche and Kyabgön Adeu Rinpoche, and many teachings and empowerments from Kyabgön Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and Kyabgön Taklung Tsetrul Rinpoche.
