I have a Tibetan Buddhist master who is referred to as Dzogchen Khenpo Choga Rinpoche. How can I write my .bib file entry, so that biblatex would know to

  1. use Khenpo Choga as the part of the name displayed in \cite{}, e.g. (Khenpo Choga 2012)
  2. not make any changes to the name when printing it into the bibliography list, so Dzogchen Khenpo Choga Rinpoche, not Rinpoche, Dzogchen Khempo Choga

Well a real solution should probably setup a tibetan name template. But for one entry you could also use additional braces and the shortauthor field:

\begin{filecontents}{tibetan.bib}
@article{test,
author = {{Dzogchen Khenpo Choga Rinpoche}},
year =2012,
journal={Journal},
title={Some title},
shortauthor={{Khenpo Choga}}
}
\end{filecontents}
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[style=authoryear]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{tibetan.bib}
\begin{document}
  \cite{test}
  \printbibliography
\end{document}
