'''His Eminence Choegon Rinpoche''' (b. 1966) is one of the most important masters within the [[Drukpa Kagyü]] tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Five centuries ago, the first Choegon Rinpoche was accorded the highest honour by becoming the teacher of [[Pema Karpo]], the fourth Gyalwang Drukpa. The current Choegon Rinpoche is the ninth in a line of successive reincarnations who are renowned as accomplished teachers of [[Vajrapani]] and [[Mahakala]].
There are currently two Choegon Rinpoche incarnations:


In 1966 the present Choegon Rinpoche took birth in a yogic family in the remote himalayan town of Kinnaur. At the age of six he was recognised by [[Rangjung Rigpé Dorje|His Holiness the Karmapa]] and [[Khamtrul Rinpoche|His Eminence Khamtrul Rinpoche]] as the 9th Choegon Rinpoche. His main teachers were Khamtrul Rinpoche who gave him the main Drukpa Lineage and [[Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche]] who gave him the teachings of the four schools of Tibetan Buddhism. He also received the complete Drukpa transmission from [[Adeu Rinpoche]].

Rinpoche’s clarity, warmth and humour together with his fluency in English make him a much admired teacher.
