Venerable '''Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche''' is one of the most qualified scholars and teachers of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
He entered [[Gochen Monastery]] at the age of six, where he began intensive training in all facets of Tibetan Buddhism. At age 12 he entered [[Riwoche Monastery]], training to become a Khenpo. In 1960 he had to flee to India. There, for over 15 years, he was in charge of the Nyingmapa Department at the [[Central Institute of Higher Studies]] in Varanasi, as well as being a founding member of that Institute.
Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche has received many honors for his scholarship from His Holiness [[Dudjom Rinpoche]] and other Tibetan leaders. He is fully versed in many areas of Buddhist study and is the author of several learned works and Tibetan language books. He is also considered a master of [[Dzogchen]], the highest tradition of meditation practice in Tibetan Buddhism.
