Dolpo Tulku Rinpoche was born into a Lama family in Dho Tarap, Dolpo, in 1982. He became a monk at the age of nine and was recognized by Dilgo Khyntse Rinpoche to be the reincarnation of the third Dolpo Nyinchung Tulki Rinpoche shortly thereafter. When he was fifteen years old, he entered Nyingma Ngagyur Institute, where he studied, debated, and researched all the sutra and tantra teachings of the Buddha for ten years under His Holiness Penor Rinpoche. He continues to teach at the Ngagyur Nyingma Institute for several months out of the year. The rest of his time, he visits Dolpo and travels worldwide to give public talks and Buddhist lectures, teaching people techniques to retain peaceful minds.
