about zachoeje rinpoche

Rinpoche was born in Nepal. He discovered a love for Tibetan literature and spent many hours relating ancient stories to his friends and family: the Tibetan tales provided entertainment. He was hoping to one day become a teacher. It happened one day that his father and some elders handed him a letter from Great Master of Tibet stating , he was going to recognize you as the sixth reincarnation of the great ZaChoeje Rinpoche. In that instant, his life changed dramatically.


Rinpoche studied at the Drepung Loseling Monastery in South India and received the Geshe Lharampa degree, equal to a doctorate in Tibetan Buddhism. After leading the cultural tour in America in 1998, he traveled to Phoenix with a group of monks, where he found himself personally drawn to the desert. He decided to settle there and began teaching. On September 10, 2001, he, together with Dharma friends and students, founded Emaho Foundation.
