Choseng Trungpa Rinpoche is the 12th and current Trungpa Tulku. He was born on February 6, 1989 in Pawo village, in Derge in eastern Tibet, and recognized by Tai Situ Rinpoche in 1991. He was enthroned a year later at Surmang Monastery by his uncle Damkar Rinpoche, a high Kagyu lama. He has studied the traditions of Surmang under the tutelage of Kenla, an elderly senior monk, and has been receiving his primary monastic education at the shedra at Palpung Monastery.
The name Choseng is a contraction of Chokyi Sengay,which means "Lion of Dharma."
In 2001, he met for the first time with Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, the son of his previous incarnation, the Vidyadhara Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche.
