Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche is a senior teacher and scholar in the Karma Kagyü lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. He was born in 1934 in Nangchen, Tibet. He left home at an early age to train in the dharma and spent many years as a wandering yogi practicing chöd. He was discovered by the 16th Karmapa and was invited to study in Tsurphu monastery. He fled Tibet at the age of 25 in 1959. He now teaches widely in the West.

He is known for spontaneous songs and answering students in song, similar to the historical teacher Milarepa.
