Tsenzhab Serkong Rinpoche (July 27, 1914, Tibet—August 29, 1983, Spiti Valley, India) was a master (tsenshab) of Tibetan Buddhism from the Gelug tradition.
Over five visits to Spiti, the Himalayan valley next to Kinnaur, Rinpoche rededicated the most ancient monastery, Tabo Gonpa, and conferred on its monks the empowerments and oral transmissions for its traditional rituals.
[1] Rinpoche used the offerings he received during his Western tours to commission a large applique scroll portraying the Buddha-figure Kalachakra and a full set of scroll-paintings of the life of Tsongkhapa, which he presented to his monastery, Ganden Jangtsey.
He also made extensive offerings to the monks and nuns gathered at Drepung Monastery, Mundgod, in March 1983 for the first full Monlam prayer festival.
[4] In 1986, a two-year old boy from village Lari, Spiti valley, was recognised as the reincarnation of Tsenzhab Serkhong Rinpoche.
