Khenpo Namchak Dorji is a Vajrayana Buddhist practitioner, scholar, translator and teacher of Tibetan Buddhism. Born into a family of tantric practitioners (Ngakpas) in Eastern Bhutan, nestled in the Himalayas, he belongs to the lineage overseeing Long-nying Chöling Monastery. From the age of four, Khenpo had the privilege of immersing himself in the teachings of Buddhism, encompassing reading, writing, and advanced Vajrayana rituals at his monastery. Guided by his grandfather, the abbot of the monastery, he received a comprehensive education. In addition to his monastic training, he pursued secular studies in both India and Bhutan.

With decades devoted to the study of Buddhism, he earned a Khenpo degree (Doctorate in Buddhist Philosophy) from Nyingma Institute (Higher Buddhist Studies & Research Center) in India. Khenpo has not only immersed himself in the rigorous practice of Vajrayana Buddhism but taught a range of Buddhist philosophies and sacred Vajrayana arts in Bhutan, Nepal, India, and the US. 

Beyond his role as a teacher, Khenpo has been instrumental in researching, editing, and translating Vajrayana Buddhist texts in the West while simultaneously engaging in practice and teaching. In Bhutan, he oversees the Long-nying Choling Monastery and provides support to dharma centers in the United States, aiding serious Vajrayana Buddhist practitioners on their spiritual journey.
