Kunkyen Dolpopa Sherab Gyaltsen
Kunkyen Dolpopa Sherab Gyaltsen
Considered to have been an emanation of Buddha Maitreya/Jampa.
Dolpopa Sherab Gyaltsen (dol po pa shes rab rgyal mtshan) was born in 1292, in the Dolpo region of present-day Nepal.
He took ordination as a novice monk in 1304 and spent the following years studying the tantras of the Nyingma tradition. In 1309 he traveled to Mustang (glo) to study the treatises on the vehicle of the perfections, epistemology, and abhidharma under the master Kyiton Jamyang Drakpa Gyeltsen (skyi ston 'jam dbyangs grags pa rgyal mtshan, d.u.).
Kyiton soon left Mustang and went to teach in the great monastery of Sakya (sa skya) in the Tsang region of Tibet, and Dolpopa followed him there in 1312.
Dolpopa received many teachings from Kyiton at Sakya, the most important of which were the Kālacakra Tantra, the Bodhisattva Trilogy (sems 'grel skor gsum), the ten Sutras on the Buddha-nature (snying po'i mdo), the five Sutras of Definitive Meaning, and the Five Treatises of Maitreya.
He became an expert in the Kālacakra tradition he received from Kyiton and served as his teaching assistant for several years. He also received teachings and initiations from other masters at Sakya, such as the Sakya throne-holder of the Khon (‘khon) family, Daknyi Chenpo Sangpo Pel (bdag nyid chen po bzang po dpal, 1262-1324).
From Kunpang Drakpa Gyeltsen (kun spangs grags pa rgyal mtshan, d.u.) he again received the Vimalaprabhā commentary on the Kālacakra Tantra. From Sengge Pel (seng ge dpal, d.u.) of the Sharpa family of Sakya, he received the teachings of epistemology, and from that master’s brother, Kunga Sonam (kun dga’ bsod nams, d.u.), he received the teachings of the Lamdre (lam ‘bras) and the textual transmission of many tantras of the Hevajra cycle.
In 1314 Dolpopa traveled to many of the great monasteries of Tsang and central Tibet and received the title “Omniscient” (kun mkhyen) because of his mastery of scriptures such as the one-hundred-thousand-line sutra on the perfection of wisdom.
He also received full monastic ordination from the abbot Sonam Drakpa (mkhan chen bsod nams grags pa, d.u.) of Cholung Monastery (chos lung dgon) and made the vow to never eat slaughtered meat for the rest of his life. During this journey he received many teachings of the Kagyu and Nyingma traditions, and the instructions of Chod and Zhije.
In the year 1321, when he was twenty-nine years old, Dolpopa ascended to the monastic seat (gdan sa) of Sakya Monastery. During the same year he visited Jonang Monastery (jo nang dgon) for the first time and was deeply impressed by the tradition of intense meditation emphasized there. Then he traveled to U, where he had extensive conversations with the Third Karmapa, Rangjung Dorje (karma pa rang byung rdo rje, 1284-1339), at the great Karma Kagyu monastery of Tsurpu (mtshur phu). The Karmapa significantly prophesied that Dolpopa would quickly become even more expert in the view and practice.
In 1322 Dolpopa left Sakya and went to Jonang Monastery, where he received from the master Khetsun Yonten Gyatso (yon tan rgya mtsho, 1260-1327) the complete transmission of the Kālacakra Tantra, the Bodhisattva Trilogy, and the Kālacakra completion-stage practices of the six-branch yoga.
Then he entered a meditation retreat at the Jonang hermitage of Khacho Deden (mkha’ spyod bde ldan). After this retreat, Yonten Gyatso convinced Dolpopa to teach in the assembly at Jonang, and also taught him many more systems of esoteric knowledge, such as Lamdre, the Five Stages (rim lnga) of the Guhyasamāja and the Cakrasaṃvara, Zhije and Chod.
Dolpopa then visited Sakya at the invitation of Tishri Kunga Gyeltsen (ti shrI kun dga’ rgyal mtshan, 1310-1358) of the Khon family, and offered him the Kālacakra initiation.
On returning to Jonang, Dolpopa began a strict retreat at Khacho Deden, meditating on the six-branch yoga for one year. During this time he achieved realization of the first four of the six branches, beholding immeasurable figures of the buddhas and pure lands when practicing individual withdrawal and meditation, and gaining exceptional experience and realization due to the blazing of blissful warmth when practicing breath control and retention.
During this retreat the realization of the zhentong (gzhan stong) view first arose in Dolpopa’s mind, but he would not teach it to others until at least five more years had passed.

Lama Lobsang Trinley
Lama Ngawang Lobsang Trinley, also known affectionately as Lama Lutrin or Kyabje Lama, was a highly realized Tibetan master born in 1917 in Mimdi village, nestled within the Zuka Valley of the Kham region in southeastern Tibet.
His family line was known as Achak Dri, and he was the beloved son of Kalsang Kyap and Yakshieza Tashikyi. From the very beginning, signs of his extraordinary nature were evident. The day after his birth, the great Zamngu Lama proclaimed with astonishment, “Longroma’s family has just had a child; this child is an extraordinary and highly realised being.” (‘Longroma’ was a nickname for his father, meaning “Short-Tempered.”)
