Acharya Zasep Jamseng Rinpoche embarked upon ten years of intensive meditation and study with the highly realized teacher Geshe Thubten Wangyal In 1961. Rinpoche then completed his Acharya (Master’s) Degree in Buddhist philosophy at Varanasi Sanskrit University in 1975, at which time he was sent to Southeast Asia to study Vipassana Meditation and Theravada Buddhist traditions in the forest temples of Thailand. In mid-1976, Rinpoche moved to Australia to translate and teach at the Chenrezig Institute for Wisdom Culture at the request of Lama Thubten Yeshe.
In 1980, Zasep Rinpoche accepted the invitation of his Canadian students and came to British Columbia. That autumn, during the visit to Toronto of H.H. Ling Rinpoche, Toronto’s first Gelugpa centre was created. H.H. Ling Rinpoche bestowed the name “Gaden Choling Mahayan Buddhist Meditation Centre” and appointed Zasep Rinpoche as the resident teacher.  Since then, Rinpoche has given countless teachings, discourses, commentaries, initiations, private interviews and meditation retreats at Gaden Choling for students of all levels. Rinpoche has also hosted many fundraising events for the centre, Gaden Relief, Gaden for the West and other charitable organizations, as well as conducted life cycle rituals such as funerals for members who have passed on.Zasep Rinpoche now resides in Nelson, BC., close to the Gaden for the West retreat centre (Gaden Tashi Choling Retreat).
