Timeline
Ngawang Kunga was born on September 7, 1945 in Tsedong, near Shigatse, Tibet.
From his father, Vajradhara Ngawang Kunga Rinchen, he received important initiations and teachings in the Sakya lineage.
He began intensive religious study at the age of five.
Sakya Trizin Ngawang Kunga served as the 41st Sakya Trizin, the throne holder of the Sakya Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, from his appointment in 1952 until his retirement in 2017.
His religious name is Ngawang Kunga Tegchen Palbar Trinley Samphel Wangyi Gyalpo.
In 1952, he was officially designated as the next Sakya Trizin by the Fourteenth Dalai Lama.
He continued intensive training from his main teacher Ngawang Lodroe Shenpen Nyingpo and many other famous Tibetan scholars, studying extensively in both the esoteric and exoteric Buddhist traditions.
In 1959, at the age of fourteen, he was formally enthroned as head of the Sakya Order of Tibetan Buddhism.
In the same year, due to the violent take over by China and the ensuing political situation in Tibet, Sakya Trizin Ngawang Kunga, his family, and many lamas and monks from the Sakya Monastery relocated to India.
After leaving Tibet, in 1964, Sakya Trizin Ngawang Kunga re-established the seat of the Sakya in Rajpur, India, building a monastery known as Sakya Centre.
Since that time, he has worked tirelessly to preserve the thousand-year-old religious heritage of the Sakya Order and to transmit its teachings to succeeding generations.
He founded and directly guides a number of institutions, including Sakya Monastery in Rajpur, Sakya Institute, Sakya College, Sakya Nunnery, Sakya College for Nuns, Sakya Tibetan Settlement, Sakya Hospital, dozens of other monasteries and nunneries in Tibet, Nepal, and India, and numerous Dharma Centers in many countries.
Kyabgon Gongma Trichen Rinpoche is regarded as one of the most highly qualified Buddhist lineage holder respected by all four schools of Tibetan Buddhism and teaches widely throughout the world.
He has bestowed the extensive Lam Dre teaching cycle, which is the most important teaching of the Sakya Order over 18 times on various continents, and also transmitted major initiation cycles such as Collection of all the Tantras, and the Collection of all the Sādhanās, which contain almost all of the empowerments for the esoteric practices of the various schools of Tibetan Buddhism to hundreds of lineage holders in the next generation of Buddhist teachers.
He has trained both of his sons as highly qualified Buddhist masters, and they both travel widely, teaching Buddhism throughout the world.
To maintain the unbroken lineage of the Khon family, in 1974 he consented to requests that he accept Tashi Lhakee, daughter of a noble family from Derge in Kham as his consort.
In 1979, a second son, Gyana Vajra Rinpoche was born.
The year 2009 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the 41st Sakya Trizin's leadership of the Sakya Order.
The occasion was celebrated as a Golden Jubilee with extensive celebrations and tributes to his success in preserving and maintaining the Sakya school.
After passing the throne of the Sakya lineage to his elder son Ratna Vajra Rinpoche who became the 42nd Sakya Trizin on 9 March 2017, he is now known as Kyabgon Gongma Trichen Rinpoche.
