Choseng Trungpa Rinpoche is the 12th and current Trungpa tülku.^[1] He was born on February 6, 1989 in Pawo village, in Derge, eastern Tibet, and recognized by Tai Situ Rinpoche in 1991.^[2] He was enthroned a year later at Surmang Monastery by Damkar Rinpoche, a high Kagyu lama and the younger brother of the monastery's late abbot (and Choseng Trungpa's predecessor), Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche.

He has studied the traditions of Surmang under the tutelage of the late Lama Kenla, (1932–2003), and received his early monastic education at the shedra at Palpung Monastery. He currently studies at Surmang Namgyal-tse.^[3][4]

The name Choseng is a contraction of Chokyi Sengay (Tibetan: ཆོས་ཀྱི་སེང་གེ་; Wylie: Chos-kyi Seng-ge), which means "Lion of Dharma."

In 2001, he met for the first time with Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, the son of his previous incarnation, Chögyam Trungpa.
