Dawa Dakpa was born in the year of water monkey in the tenth day of eight Tibetan lunar calendar in Tashi Thangay, a serene village in Samdrup Jongkhar, Eastern Bhutan, into the noble lineage of Penchen Tongla Katshelpa. The village of Tashi Thangay itself carries a profound spiritual legacy—its name was given by Dawa Dakpa’s great-great grandfather, Katshelpa Rinpoche, a revered spiritual master. Under the guidance of his teachers, Dawa Dakpa spent eighteen years studying Sutras and Tantras, developing mastery in Buddhist philosophy, meditation, logic, grammar, ritual arts, and sacred dance. At the age of twenty-two, he earned the title of Lopen (Teacher) in recognition of his academic and spiritual excellence. Read the full biography of Lama Dawa Dakpa here.
