Khenpo Tsultrim Tenzin Rinpoche' was born in the Hor' region of East Tibet (Kham'), in 1968 to a Bönpo family of nomadic cattle herders. As a boy, he tended his family’s sheep and yaks, and learnt reading and writing from his grandfather. At nineteen, he entered Lungkar Monastery. During this time, Tsultrim Tenzin completed the traditional preliminary practices and studied Tibetan grammar and poetry as well as Bönpo philosophy. Tsultrim Tenzin served as umze, or chant master, for three years in the Lungkar Monastery.
At the age of twenty-five, he went to Menri's Monastery in Central Tibet to study with Pönlob Kalzang Nyima' from whom he received teachings on Denö Dzö' authored by Shardza Trashi Gyaltsen Rinpoche' (1859-1935) and the A-Thril' Bönpo Dzogchen manual. At this time he also gained the experiential understanding of Great Perfection.
In 1993, Tsultrim Tenzin made the arduous journey to Triten Norbutse Monastery in Kathmandu, Nepal, to study intensively with his root Master, Yongdzin Lopön Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche, under whose guidance he deepened his knowledge of Sutra, Tantra and Dzogchen. He also learnt astrology, traditional Tibetan medicine, and Sanskrit. While studying, Tsultrim Tenzin served as the monastery's chant master for six years, and as gekhöz (disciplinarian) for three years. After completing the 14-year study programme, he passed the Geshe examination in 2001 and received his degree.
In 2002, Tsultrim Tenzin was appointed by Yongdzin Lopön Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche as Drubdra Khenpo - Abbot of the Meditation School - in Triten Norbutse Monastery. Since then he has been teaching Dzogchen in the meditation school there as well as giving instructions on Sutra, Tantra, Dzogchen, astrology and mandala and painting in the monastic dialectic school.
Alongside teaching, Khenpo Tsultrim Tenzin Rinpoche practices Dzogchen meditation and Magyu Tsa lung, Trul khor and tummo for two hours every morning. He sometimes travels to Tibet, China, Japan, Europe and England to teach Dzogchen, Tantra and Tsa lung.
Details of this retreat
Breath is the gateway to greater ease, energy, and clarity. Yet, most of us don’t breathe in a way that truly supports us. At this weekend’s Tsa Lung retreat, you’ll be guided in powerful practices that open the body, calm the mind, and awaken a deeper sense of well-being. Come discover the freedom and vitality that live within each breath.
Conscious, regulated breathing can bring vitality to our body and clarity to our mind. Uniting our attention with our breath expands our presence in each moment of life, allowing us to respond with greater wisdom and compassion—and with less ego, anger, and pride.
Come discover the freedom and vitality that live within each breath.
Tsa Lung Trul Khor, which means “the magical movements for the channels and winds”, refers to specific and, until recently, secret practices. These unique, purifying, physical exercises are designed to enhance meditation practice, especially practice in the Dzogchen style of effortlessly resting in the nature of one’s own mind. These methods have been traditionally employed by tantric yogis in the Himalayas, Zhang Zhung, and Tibet.
These ancient teachings come from the Tibetan Bön tradition, and specifically from the Mother Tantra cycle of teachings. From a Bön or Buddhist perspective, these practices purify the body, speech, and mind, clear obstacles and the afflictive emotions, open our subtle body (channels and chakras) and guide us toward a mental and physical well-being. The practice is even able to drop us into our “natural state,” a state of pure clarity and awareness. This weekend’s teaching is also a foundation for the practice of Tummo, which Khenpo Rinpoche is offering as a program the following weekend (Dec. 21 - 22, 2025).
Held at Serenity Ridge and also offered online by Zoom, Khenpo Tsultrim Tenzin Rinpoche will teach a specific breathing technique designed to release tension, agitation and drowsiness from the body and mind, and leave us in a clear and open state that facilitates meditation and our general well being. Participants who commit to the practice, which takes little time and is easily learned, may experience increased energy, more radiant health, and the inner warmth of joy and bliss while nurturing compassion and wisdom. This program is tailored for modern practitioners from both Eastern and Western backgrounds, making these ancient techniques accessible to all.
