The Sixth Zhabdrung Karpo, Ngawang Chokdrub Tenpai Gyeltsen (zhabs drung dkar po 06 ngag dbang mchog grub bstan pai rgyal mtshan) was born in 1832. His father, Chokyong Tashi (chos skyong bkra shis) was a brother of a throneholder in Rading (ra lding), Minyak (mi nyak), a monastic estate of Kumbum. His mother was named Tsokho (mtsho kho).
Serkhang Lobzang Tendzin Gyatso (gser khang blo bzang bstan 'dzin rgya mtsho, 1780-1848) recognized him as the reincarnation of the Fifth Zhabdrung Karpo, Khetsun Gyatso (mkhas btsun rgya mtsho, 1797-1831). He was enthroned at Mangra (mang ra) and received novice vows from Lobzang Tendzin Gyatso. Nye Tenpai Gyeltsen (rnye bstan pa'i rgyal mtshan, d.u.) served as his tutor.
At the order of the Qing representative (amban) in Xining, he went to Kumbum to study. There he trained with the Third Jamyang Zhepa, Lobzang Tubten Jigme Gyatso ('jam dbyangs bzhad pa 03 blo bzang thub bstan 'jigs med rgya mtsho, 1792-1855), who gave him full ordination and the name Lobzang Tsultrim Gyatso (blo bzang tshul khrims rgya mtsho).
He passed away in 1872.
