About Khenpo Namchak Dorji: Khenpo Namchak Dorji is a Vajrayana Buddhist practitioner, scholar, translator, and teacher of Tibetan Buddhism. Born into a family of tantric practitioners (Ngakpas) in Eastern Bhutan, nestled in the Himalayas, he belongs to the lineage overseeing Long-nying Chöling Monastery. From the age of four, Khenpo had the privilege of immersing himself in Buddhist teachings, encompassing reading, writing, and advanced Vajrayana rituals at his monastery. Guided by his grandfather, the abbot of the monastery, he received a comprehensive Buddhist education. In addition to his monastic training, he pursued secular studies in both India and Bhutan. With almost three decades of devotion to the study and practice of Buddhism, he earned a Khenpo degree (Doctorate in Buddhist Philosophy) from the esteemed Nyingma Institute of Higher Buddhist Studies & Research Center in India. Khenpo has immersed himself in the rigorous practice of Vajrayana Buddhism and has taught a range of Buddhist philosophies and sacred Vajrayana arts in Bhutan, Nepal, India, and the US. Beyond his role as a teacher, Khenpo has been instrumental in researching, editing, and translating Vajrayana Buddhist texts in the West while simultaneously engaging in practice and teaching. In Bhutan, he oversees the Long-nying Chöling Monastery, providing the necessary facilities for all kinds of practitioners to study and practice Buddhist teachings. He occasionally leads pilgrimage tours to the hidden land of Bhutan and supports dharma centers in the United States, aiding serious Vajrayana Buddhist practitioners on their spiritual journey.
