Biography

Dorjé Chöpa trained at Drepung Monastery for two decades and earned his Geshé (Tib. dge bshes, Ch. gèxī 格西) degree there. He lived in Mongolia and made five trips to Mt. Wǔtái 五台山 in the first decades of the 20th century. Dorjé Chöpa moved to Běijīng 北京 in 1925 after the ninth Panchen Lama 班禪 relocated there.

In Běijīng, Dorjé Chöpa became acquainted with Dàyǒng 大勇 and began teaching him and his students at the Buddhist Tibetan Language College 藏文學院. That same year, the school closed when Dàyǒng, inspired by Dorjé Chöpa, turned the College into the Residing-in-Tibet Dharma Studies Group 留藏學法團 and departed for Tibet. After this, Dorjé Chöpa traveled to Hángzhōu 杭州, where he taught Tibetan Buddhism and gave initiations.

The following year he traveled to Hànkǒu 漢口 and started the Tantrayana Study Society 密乘學會 in Wǔchāng 武昌.
