===A Short Biography===
 
His eminence was born in 1936 in [[Nangchen]] Kham. The [[King of Nangchen]] personally took responsibility for searching for the reincarnation of the 7th [[Gar Tinley Yonkyab]]. Rinpoche was recognized and enthroned by His Holiness the late [[Drikung Kyabgon Shiwei Lodoe]].
 
At the age of seven Rinpoche was brought to [[Lho Miyalgon]], where he was offered ceremonial clothes and other items. At the age of 13 he received the [[Drikung Kagyu]] lineage teachings from [[Lho Thubten Nyingpo Rinpoche]] of [[Lho Lungkar Gon]]. He received oral transmission, explanation and empowerment for Mahamudra and the [[Six Yogas of Naropa]]. During the cultural revolution, he met [[Khenpo Munsel]], a great disciple of the renowned Nyingmapa [[Khenpo Ngagchung]]. From Khenpo Munsel he received Dzogchen teachings and practiced secretly. Khenpo Munsel was astonished at Rinpoche's great achievement and complimented him: "He ([[Gar Rinpoche]]) is an emanation of a Bodhisattva." His Holiness [[Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang]] Rinpoche received the empowerment and transmission (lung) of [[Yamantaka]] ([[Jampel Shinje]]) from Garchen Rinpoche, and composed a long life prayer for him. In prayer H. H. Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche regards Garchen Rinpoche as a great Drikung Kagyu yogi of the present time.
