The Present Drukpa Choegon Rinpoche
His Eminence the Ninth Kyabje Drukpa Choegon Rinpoche Tenzin Chokyi Gyatso was born at Sonam Ling, the first Tibetan Settlement in Ladakh in 1968 to father Tashi Chotob and mother Drukkyid Wangmo. Throughout the three days after his birth, though the butter of the lamp in Rinpoche's home was exhausted, its wick remained to be lit. This was considered to be an auspicious omen.
