Yangten Rinpoche

Yangten Rinpoche was born in Kham, Tibet in 1978. He was recognized as a reincarnate lama at 10 and entered the Geshe program at Sera Mey Monastery at the unusually young age of 12, graduating with the highest honors, a Geshe Lharampa degree, at 29. In 2008, Rinpoche was called by His Holiness the Dalai Lama to work in his Private Office. He has assisted His Holiness on many projects, including heading the Monastic Ordination Section of the Office of H. H. The Dalai Lama and heading the project for compiling His Holiness’ writings and teachings. Read a full bio here.
