H.E. THE NINTH CHOEGON RINPOCHE CHOKYI SENGYE is considered to be one of the most important spiritual masters of the Drukpa lineage, a Tibetan Buddhist tradition founded by the first Gyalwang Drukpa Tsangpa Gyare Yeshe Dorje (1161 - 1211) who was revered as the authentic reincarnation of the great Indian saint Naropa (1016-1100).

The first Choegon Rinpoche was one of the teachers of the famed omniscient Pema Karpo, the Fourth Gyalwang Drukpa, and he was well-known for his accomplishments in the practice of Vajrapani and Mahakala.

The present ninth Choegon Rinpoche Chokyi Sengye took rebirth in a family of a yogi living in Kinnaur, a remote Himalayan town of Northern India. His main teachers were His Eminence the Eighth Khamtrul Rinpoche of the Drukpa lineage and His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche of the Nyingma lineage.
