H.E Kuenzang Tenpai Gyeltshen or popularly known as H.E. Gyeltshen Trulku was born to a humble couple near Chorten Kora in Trashiyangtse,Eastern Bhutan, in the year 1953. When he was about five or six years old, both his parents left the world and he had to be left to the care of his not-so kind relatives.
When Gyeltsen Trulku was nine years old, Lam Sonam Zangpo from Kurtoe, Lhuntse Dzongkhag had a vision in his meditation (showing the direction, locating the place –saying such type of place, Ri (mountain), near that type of Shing (tree), Dho (stone), river, etc…) and recognized as the incarnation of “Thrulzhi Lam Gyeltshen or Gyeltshen Marpa” by H.E Lam Sonam Zangpo and was installed as the incarnation to the seat of his predecessor.
For the last twenty three years (Age 34-57), he has been constantly helping the needy and directing those deserving and interested to embark on the path of enlightenment.
