Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche was born in Bhutan in 1961 and was recognised as the main incarnation of Dzongsar Khyentse (1894-1959). From early childhood, he has studied with some of the greatest contemporary masters, particularly H.H. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.
Dzongsar Institute continues the academic heritage of Dzongsar Khamje Shedra, a famed centre of nonsectarian learning near Derge in Eastern Tibet.
While the original institute is slowly beginning to flourish again, this branch in India has continued the legacy, largely due to Head Abbot Khenpo Kunga Wangchuk, one of the most learned scholars of Tibetan Buddhism. The Institute recently outgrew its previous structure in the Bir settlement in Himachal Pradesh, and the present Institute, situated in nearby Chauntra, is a magnificent edifice of Buddhist learning. The Institute was inaugurated by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and many lamas and dignitaries in 2003.
The Institute is administered by Khenpo Kunga Wangchuk and Khenpo Jamyang Lösel, together with a faculty of ten khenpos. The student body is composed of over 500 monks from various locales and monasteries, representing all schools of Tibetan Buddhism. The curriculum encompasses a complete theoretical education in Buddhism over nine years of study (for a Shastri degree) or eleven years of study (for an Archarya degree). Graduates may pursue further studies and responsibilities and become teachers or khenpos.
