about Charok Lama

Officially known as Ngawang Rigdzin Gyatso Rinpoche, he was born in the Solu Khumbu region of Nepal and, at the age of two, was recognized as the reincarnation of Kusho Mangden, one of the most highly revered Nyingma yogis from the area.

At the age of eight, Charok Lama moved to Sera Je Monastery in southern India to pursue a geshe degree. Despite his youth, he has already become known for his wisdom, compassion, and dedication to the teachings of the Buddha.
