Discovery of the Reincarnation of
Ven. Gyalpo Rinpoche
Ven. the 2nd Gyalpo Rinpoche was reborn in
1978, in a family of Chumje Labrang, in the
village of Chumje in Gorkha district, Nepal. His
mother died when he was only nine days old.
He was raised by Ani Jangchub till he was
recognized as Ven. the 2nd Gyalpo Rinpoche.
As a young child, he often told stories about the
previous Gyalpo Rinpoche but the people in his
village could not understand what he was
referring to.

"Karma Samten Ling"

In gratitude and with respect for the name
Karma Samten Chokhor Ling granted by H.
H. the 16th Karmapa to the main
Monastery in Manang, and similarly to H.E.
the 3rd Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche who
named Karma Samten Ling, the original
Retreat Centre in Kathmandu, and
because it is especially auspicious, Ven.
Gyalpo Rinpoche has decided that
Monasteries and Centres under his
guidance will keep Karma Samten Ling as
their names.

Seeking and Recognising Ven. the 2nd Gyalpo Rinpoche
Wondrous stories about this young child spread in the community of Chumje and soon after in Manang too.
At the same time, the sons and close disciples of the previous Gyalpo Rinpoche were searching for his
reincarnation. They went to Chumje to visit the young child and were deeply impressed and touched. Finally,
in 1984, H.E. Tai Situ Rinpoche and other great masters confirmed him as the reincarnation of Ven. Gyalpo
Rinpoche.
In the same year, Rinpoche was enthroned and given the name, Karma Lungtok Tenpe Nyima at the holy seat
of Dilyak Monastery in Boudhanath by H.E. Tai Situ Rinpoche. Ven. Dabsang Rinpoche and many other
Rinpoches and Lamas attended the ceremony.

Great Masters and Teachers
Ven. Dabsang Rinpoche has generously and kindly hosted the
young Gyalpo Rinpoche at his Monastery until proper
accommodations could be completed at the Karma Samten Ling
Retreat Centre, near Swayambu. Ven. Dabsang Rinpoche gave all
the empowerments and teachings for the first Three Year
Mahamudra Retreat at that Centre, which young Gyalpo Rinpoche
was able to receive completely even though he was still too young to
accomplish the three year retreat formally. Since then, Rinpoche
started his monastic education and training under the guidance of
Lama Phuntsok and Lama Gyaltsen.
