Dungse Garab Dorje Rinpoche was born in Brekha, Bhutan. Rinpoche is a Yogi-Rinpoche of god caste blood lineage of King Trisong Deutsen (the human form of Manjushri) of Tibet. Rinpoche is the original wisdom son of H.H Dudjom Rinpoche (who in turn was regarded as the manifestation of Guru Rinpoche). Rinpoche's father is none other than Dungse Thinley Norbu Rinpohce, the emanation of Kuenkhen Longchen Rabjam, as well as the rebirth of Terton Drimed Odser. Rinpoche's mother, Jamyang Choedon comes from an equally impressive blood lineage - Kuenkhen Pema Karpo. Rinpoche's eminent ancestry of such a religious background ensured that it is natural for him to be genuinely immersed in dharmic activities since young.

Rinpoche also travels worldwide frequently by the invitation of many Buddhist Centres to give lineage teachings. The superior mission of Rinpoche is to develop Buddha's teachings especially the teachings of the Dudjom New Treasure. Followers and the disciples of Dudjom New Treasure Lineage regard Rinpoche as the true successor of H.H Dudjom Rinpoche and especially the Bhutanese, highly regarded and expected Rinpoche to be the lineage holder and to lead the dharma activities of this terma. With Rinpoche's unchangeable compassion, the Dudjom New Treasure teachings will flourish worldwide to benefit all sentient beings.
