-Beginning as Gonpo, a trusted attendant of [[Trisong Deutsen]], he became one of the first Tibetans to take ordination, taking the name Gyalwey Lodro, Victorious Intelligence. He became erudite in translation and attained accomplishment after receiving transmission from [[Hungkara]] in India. It is said that he visited the land of [[Yama]], the Lord of the Dead, and saved his mother from the hell realms. After receiving teachings from [[Padmasambhava]], he performed the feat of transforming a zombie into gold, some of which was later revealed in terma treasures. He achieved the [[vidyadhara level of longevity]] and is reputed to have lived until the era of [[Rongzom Pandita Chokyi Sangpo]] ([[rong zom chos kyi bzang po]]) (1012-1088), to whom he gave teachings. Gyalwey Lodro means 'Victorious wisdom.' [RY]
