Biography
Neten Chokling Rinpoche is a Vajrayana Buddhist teacher, a filmmaker, and an author. Born in Bhutan in 1973, he was recognized by two eminent Tibetan masters, the 16th Karmapa and Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, to be the reincarnation of the eighteenth-century Tibetan Treasure Revealer Chokgyur Lingpa. At the age of four, he made the journey out of Bhutan with Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, who would become his spiritual root teacher, to India at the previous incarnation’s monastic seat. He divides his time between his monastery in Bir, India, and traveling outside India to take part in spiritual programs. Much of his time is spent in retreats in the sacred valleys and mountains of Bhutan, Sikkim, Nepal and India.
