'''Tokden Tutop Nyima''' was born in 1965 and joined [[Khampagar Monastery]] in [[Tashi Jong]] at the age of nine. After spending eight years in the monastery school, at eighteen he received the [[full ordination]] vows from H.E. 8th [[Dorzong Rinpoche]]. He received teachings and [[empowerment]]s from his [[root guru]] [[Khamtrul Rinpoche Dongyü Nyima|Gyalwa Dokhampa 8th Khamtrul Rinpoche]], [[Adeu Rinpoche|Kyabgön 8th Adeu Rinpoche]] and many other realized masters. In 1992 he entered the Retreat Centre where he stayed for sixteen years of intensive meditation practice.

In 2007 [[Dokhampa Shedrub Nyima|Khamtrul Rinpoche]] bestowed on him the yogi attire and he joined the select group of [[tokden]]s for which the lineage is famous. He now acts as [[vajra master]] in all the grand ceremonies at the monastery. Since 2010 he has travelled extensively in Asia with Khamtrul Rinpoche. In May 2014 he visited [[Tsoknyi Rinpoche]]’s Nunnery in Nepal to pass on some spiritual instructions and transmissions achieved in his years of practice.
