Tsangpa Gyare Yeshe Dorje (gtsang pa rgya ras ye shes rdo rje), (1161-1211)


Tsangpa Gyare Yeshe Dorje (1161-1211)

His father was Gyazurpo Tsape (rgya zur po tshab pe) and mother Marza Darkyi (mar bza' dar skyid). The moment he was conceived his mother had a dream in which she saw the sun rising from her body and meeting with highly realized beings. He was born, the last of seven children, in the Iron-Female-Serpent (1161) year at Khule Saral (khu le) in Upper Nyang (myang stod).

Tsangpa Gyare Yeshe Dorje was one the foremost disciples of Lingje Repa Pema Dorje, as well as one of the founders of the Drukpa Kagyu school. He met Lingje Repa when he was grown up and mastered the Six Doctrines of Naropa and Mahamudra under him. He founded the Ralung monastery (rwa lung), the principal seat of the Drukpa Kagyu lineage, and the monasteries of Longdol (klong rdol) and Nam-Druk (gnam ’brug), after which the lineage was later named. Tsangpa Gyare became a widely reknowned teacher with thousands of disciples. He discovered the "Six-fold cycle of Equal Taste" (ro snyom skor drug), a cycle of instructions that had been hidden by Rechungpa to be rediscovered at the appropriate time, and became thus known as a treasure revealer (gter ston).
