Tulku Yeshi Nyingpo
Tulku Yeshi Nyingpo, the son of the 11th Samtrul Rinpoche, has been devoted to assisting his father from an early age. Recognized as the reincarnation of Tokden Yeshi Nyingpo, his father’s teacher and father, he has carried forward the profound spiritual legacy of his lineage.
Following the passing of the 11th Samtrul Rinpoche, Tulku Yeshi Nyingpo took full responsibility for Samdrup Dargyeling Monastery, beginning with the construction of the Kudung Stupa as a tribute to his father. He further expanded his efforts by building the Zangdokpalri Monastery, enhancing the spiritual and monastic infrastructure.
In addition to his work in Bhutan, he frequently travels to foreign countries, sharing Dharma teachings and inspiring practitioners worldwide. His ongoing contributions include the renovation of the Guru Lhakhang, originally built by his father, and the construction of a new dormitory to accommodate and support the monks at the monastery.
His unwavering dedication ensures the preservation and growth of the monastery, benefiting both the monastic community and the larger Buddhist world.

During a casual tea gathering at Samdrup Dargyeling Monastery, a remarkable event took place. The lama hosting the Nyingma Protector “Tsimar” became possessed by the deity, manifesting its divine presence. At that moment, Tulku Yeshi Nyingpo’s consort stood at a distance, holding their two-year-old son. Moved by an unseen force, the protector offered a khadhar (ceremonial scarf) to the child and solemnly declared, “This child must be well cared for, as he will benefit sentient beings in the future.”
In the years that followed, this prophetic moment was affirmed when His Holiness the 3rd Penor Rinpoche formally recognized the child as the reincarnation of the 11th Samtrul Rinpoche. Today, the young Rinpoche is actively engaged alongside his father in the construction of a new dormitory and other monastic projects, continuing the sacred legacy of Samdrup Dargyeling Monastery.
