Trijang Chocktrul Rinpoche

Kyabje Trijang Chocktrul Rinpoche (born October 15, 1982) is considered the current reincarnation of the third Trijang Rinpoche.[1]

Trijang Chocktrul Rinpoche revealed an attempt to frame the Tibetan government in exile with murder:

In my own labrang, I have recently witnessed a kind of factionalism, and I have discovered that one person in particular was planning an evil conspiracy. This plan was to murder my assistant, Tharchin, and to implicate His Holiness’s government-in-exile with this odious crime. The conspirator aimed to become changzoe [manager] of my estate. Tharchin has been very kind to me, more so than my own parents, and has taken care of me since I was three years old, as well as managing the affairs of my labrang. With my own ears I heard this person discussing on the telephone a plan to assassinate Tharchin. It is really a matter of great sadness and surprise, especially since the person involved in this ploy has been very close to me as well. If he had succeeded in his plan, it would have been a cause of great trouble for the labrang, as well as a cause of disgrace to the Tibetan government and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. These are not lies, but true facts which that I want everyone to know. That is why I made this statement.[2]

Trijang Chocktrul Rinpoche concluded his message urging the followers of Dorje Shugden to stop seeking him. “I do not wish to be in touch with you,” he said. After this declaration, Trijang Chocktrul Rinpoche moved to the United States with a small number of his most faithful followers.[2]

In recent years, Trijang Chocktrul Rinpoche has established Trijang Buddhist Institute in Vermont, USA, of which he is the Spiritual Director. The Trijang Buddhist Institute provides a public programme of meditations and pujas, teachings by Geshe Cheming, Geshe Sopa and Venerable Tharchen Lobsang, and Tibetan language lessons.
