bio	Kensur Ngawang Lekden was born in 1900 on the border between central and western Tibet. Before becoming a monk, he was a singer and played a guitar-type instrument. He later entered the Go-mang College of Drepung Monastic University, one of the major monastic institutions in Tibet. The title "Kensur" (also spelled "Khensur") is an honorific given to former abbots in Tibetan Buddhism, indicating he held a position of significant authority and scholarship. He became known as a respected teacher and scholar of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy, particularly in the Geluk tradition. His teachings were translated and edited by Jeffrey Hopkins and published in works like Meditations of a Tibetan Tantric Abbot. He was valued for his scholarship, kindness toward students, and ability to teach complex Buddhist philosophical concepts in an accessible way.
