Born in 1963 to a nomadic family in Dergé, Khenpo Sherab Zangpo received his Buddhist education at a very young age from several accomplished masters in the region. At the age of 16, he started the formal study and practice of both sutras and tantras. At the age of 21, he received full ordination. In the same year, he went to Larung Gar and became a close student of Khenpo Jigme Phunstok Rinpoche.
After receiving his khenpo degree at the age of 24, he started his teaching career at Larung Gar, lecturing students mainly on the five major subjects of Buddhism as well as the Guhyagarbha Tantra. Since 1990 Khenpo has also presided over a number of administrative affairs of the institute.
