Born in 1970, '''Amnyi Trulchung Rinpoche''' is the reincarnation of the Fourth Amnyi Trulchung Rinpoche of [[Ju Mohor Monastery]] in Tibet. He was trained in the Rigdzin lineage, and undertook a [[three-year retreat]] at Yachen Orgyen Samten Chöling ([[Yachen Gar]]) in Tibet, under the guidance of Lama [[Akhyuk Rinpoche]], one of his root teachers.

At the age of eighteen, he was formally enthroned as the Fifth Amnyi Trulchung Rinpoche and abbot of Ju Mohor Monastery. His education continued at the university centre of [[Larung Gar]] at [[Sertar]], where he studied under [[Khenpo Jikme Phuntsok]] Rinpoche. After graduating as a [[khenpo]], he returned to Ju Mohor to teach.
 
During this time, Rinpoche also received many empowerments, oral transmissions and pith instructions from the Nyingma [[kama]] and [[terma]] traditions from [[Penor Rinpoche]], [[Khenpo Petse|Khenpo  Pema Tsewang]], [[Gyangkhang Tulku]], [[Khenpo Chökhyap]], [[Trulshik Rinpoche]] and [[Taklung Tsetrul Rinpoche]]. He also received several teachings on [[Secret mantra|Secret Mantrayana]] from [[Luding Khenchen Rinpoche|Ngor Luding Khenchen]].

In 2001, Amnyi Trulchung Rinpoche had an audience with [[His Holiness the Dalai Lama]] in India. His Holiness advised him to travel to the West. Rinpoche was later invited to visit New Zealand, where he gathered a group of students to form the Rigdzin Bumtsog Trust. Rinpoche has since travelled and taught in the UK, The Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Luxembourg, Hong Kong, Singapore, Nepal and Australia.
