Khachöd Wangpo was recognized as the reincarnation of Khedrub Dragpa Senge, the first Shamar Rinpoche (1283-1349) by the fourth Karmapa.
 
He was born in Chema-lung of Namshung, northern Tibet, in the Iron Tiger year. From an early age, he had numerous visions. At the age of seven, he met the Fourth Karmapa Rolpay Dorje and received upasaka and bodhisattva vows. The Karmapa gave him the Authentic Vajrayana Empowerments, Mahamudra transmissions, The Six Dharmas of Naropa, and the ear-whispered lineage transmissions of the Kagyüd Lineage. Khachöd Wangpo also studied the sutras and the tantras with numerous great masters of Kagyüd and Nyingma. The Fourth Karmapa, Rolpay Dorje, granted the ceremonial ruby Red Crown to the Second Shamar Khachöd Wangpo. When the Fourth Karmapa passed into Parinirvana, Khachöd Wangpo continued the lineage activities and enthroned the 5th Karmapa.
 
Khachöd Wangpo was one of the first lineage teachers to record some of the key instructions put into writing. His collected works were recorded as having eight volumes. At the age of Fifty six, Wood Rooster Year, he passed away into Parinirvana with many wondrous signs of realizations.
 
Among many students, Sokwön Rigpay Raldri became an important disciple who later became the principal teacher of the 6th Karmapa Thongwa Döndän.
He transmitted the full Kagyüd lineage to the Fifth Karmapa, Deshin Shegpa.
