 ==Short description==
-	Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche was born in Tibet in 1950, and was recognized as a tulku of [[Sherab Khyentse]], an abbot of [[Gochen Monastery]] in Kham. Khenpo escaped from Tibet with his brother, [[Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche]], and their family in 1960. In India, he studied at the [[Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies]], and received his Bachelor’s Degree from Sanskrit University in 1970. In 1978, H. H. [[Dudjom Rinpoche]] appointed him as the abbot of the [[Wish-fulfilling Nyingmapa Institute]] in [[Boudhanath]], Nepal. During the 1980’s Khenpo studied and worked closely with Dudjom Rinpoche in France and at the [[Yeshe Nyingpo]] center in New York. In 1988, he and his brother founded the [[Padmasambhava Buddhist Centers]], which now have branches in the U.S., India, and Russia.
-	Khenpo Tsewang has written in Tibetan a two-volume history of the Nyingma lineage during the sixth through ninth centuries, and a biography of H. H. Dudjom Rinpoche. His Tibetan book of poems, ''Praise to the Lotus Born'', was translated into English in 2004.
