H.E. Dagyab Kyabgon Rinpoche

His Eminence Loden Sherab Dagyab Kyabgon Rinpoche was born in East Tibet in 1940. At the age of four he was recognized as the 9^thKyabgon of Dagyab (protector) of the region of Dagyab. Rinpoche is one of the highest Tulkus in Tibet. In 1959, Rinpoche escaped with His Holiness to India. From 1964 to 1966, he directed Tibet House in New Delhi, an internationally recognized institute for the preservation and support of Tibetan culture.

E. Dagyab Rinpoche came to Germany in 1966 in response to an invitation from Bonn University to work as a Tibetologist at its Institute for Central Asian Studies. In the 1980’s, due to the explicit request of people interested in Buddhism, he became active as a spiritual teacher for Europeans. The Buddhist community Chödzong came into being as a result of this collaboration and together with Rinpoche founded Tibet Haus Germany.
