Biography of Khenchen Pema Sherab

Khenchen Pema Sherab Rinpoche is one of the most respected khenpos within the Nyingma tradition. He is one of the three ‘great khenpos’ of Namdrolling Monastery, where he has taught for over 30 years.

Khenpo Pema Sherab was born in 1936, Dege, Tibet. At fourteen, he went to Lhasa and studied under masters and scholars of all schools of Tibetan Buddhism. While receiving teachings, he rendered service to his teachers and studied with great enthusiasm, day and night.

In 1953, Shechen Kongtrul Rinpoche bestowed novice vows upon him. Khenpo met H.H. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche in Lhasa, cared for him with great kindness. In 1959, he fled from Tibet to India with Khyentse Rinpoche, who then became his root teacher and received most of his teachings including the Guhyagarbha Root Tantra, Longchenpa’s Treasury of Pith Instructions, Kagyud Ngag Dzod (Treasury of Tantra teachings of Kagyu Lineage), Rinchen Terdzod, Jigme Lingpa’s Yonten Dzod (Treasury of Enlightened Qualities), Lochen Dharmashri’s Explanation on Ngari Penchen’s Three Vows entitled, Fruit of the Wish-fulfilling Tree, Patrul Rinpoche’s Words of My Perfect Teacher, and many other sutra and tantra teachings.

From H.H. Trulshik Rinpoche, Khenpo received the complete ordination of Bikshu and various empowerments and teachings. On various occasions, he has received many teachings including the Rinchen Terdzod Empowerments and its oral transmission from H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche and H.H. Penor Rinpoche. He received all the teachings related to Jang-ter (Northern Treasure Teachings) from H.H. Taklung Tsetrul Rinpoche.

In 1968, His Holiness Penor Rinpoche invited him to come to Namdroling to teach the Dharma. Though at that time, this institute has not established, Khenpo spent a few years teaching the traditional common and uncommon fields of study to small monks of the monastery. Since the establishment of Namdrolling from 1978 until now, thus for 32 years, Khenpo Pema Sherab has taught at Namdrolling.

In 1989 under the guidance of H.H. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, together with Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche, Khenpo also helped to establish the Shedra (philosophical college) in Shechen Monastery, Kathmandu. Since then he is the head guidance of the Shedra and has been coming every year to teach.

Khenpo has primarily taught the Thirteen Great Treatises, Jigme Lingpa’s Yonten Dzod (Treasury of Enlightened Qualities), Mipham Rinpoche’s Osel Nyingpo; a commentary to Guhyagarbha Tantra, Longchenpa’s Ngalso Korsum (Trilogy of Resting in the Nature of Mind), Rongzom Mahapandita’s Thegchen Tsul Jug (Entering the Mahayana Path) and many other teachings that illustrates the distinct view, meditation, conduct, and fruition of the Nyingma Lineage.

For the benefit of future generations, Khenpo Pema Sherab has composed many books on Buddhist philosophy including a biography of Guru Padmasambhava, exposition on Two Truths, Tibetan Logic and many others. Rinpoche was also invited by students from different parts of the world to give teaching in the West, Australia and Southeast Asia.
