His Eminence Khejok Rinpoche, the sixth incarnation of the renowned Khejok Lama who lived during the Fifth Dalai Lama's time, was born in the 1930's in a part of Eastern Tibet which is now known as Sichuan province. High scholars, recognised Rinpoche, at a young age, as the succession holder of the Khejok Lama lineage. Subsequently, he was enthroned as the abbot of Dhe-Tsang Monastery, the second oldest monastery of the Gelugpa lineage and the spiritual headquarters of all Gelugpa monasteries in Eastern Tibet.

At the age of 17, His Eminence entered the prestigious Sera Monastic University in Lhasa, one of the three largest monastic universities in the world. Later he graduated as a Geshe (a title of scholarship equivalent to a Doctorate degree). After graduation, Rinpoche served the monastery as a resident elder, being widely respected by both the ordained and lay assemblies of Tibetans for his wisdom, compassion and practical advice. His Eminence is also known for his vast knowledge on statue-making, astrology & divination and has been certified as a practitioner of traditional Tibetan Medicine by the Tibetan Government.
