Khenpo Shenga (1871–1927) was one of the great Buddhist scholars and teachers of eastern Tibet. A master of both the Nyingma and Sakya traditions, he became renowned for his deep knowledge of the Indian Buddhist classics and for his role in transforming monastic education. As the nineteenth abbot of Śrī Siṃha College at Dzogchen, he established the study of the thirteen great Indian texts as the foundation of the curriculum, and his commentaries on these works became influential textbooks in monasteries throughout Tibet.

Khenpo Shenga taught widely across Tibet, Bhutan and Sikkim and is said to have helped establish or teach at nearly one hundred monastic colleges. His students included many of the most influential Buddhist teachers of the twentieth century, including Jamyang Khyentse Chokyi Lodro and the Eleventh Tai Situ Pema Wangchok Gyelpo. Alongside his scholarly work, he was an important teacher of Dzogchen and composed extensively on philosophy, tantra, biography and songs of spiritual experience.
