His Eminence Vairochana Rinpoche

Bhutanese prince His Eminence Ngawang Jigme Jigten Wangchuk is the son of Her Royal Highness Princess Ashi Sonam Dechan Wangchuk and the grandson of Her Majesty Queen Mother Ashi Dorji Wangmo Wangchuk.  

He is also the reincarnation of Lotsawa Vairochana, the 8th century translator chosen by the then Tibetan King Trison Detsen to journey to India to study and receive Dharma transmissions.

The following is a talk that he recently gave in Vietnam.  He is 12 years old.

He was ordained at 2 years of age, and at 3 he visited his past life stomping grounds in Tibet.
