'''Gyalwang Drukpa Rinpoche''', the head lama of the [[Drukpa Kagyu]] tradition. Also known as the '''Gyalwang Drukchen''' and  '''Druk Tamche Khyenpa'''  ''"All-knowing Drukpa"'' ([['brug thams cad mkhyen pa ]]) the successive Gyalwang Drukpas  are  considered to be incarnations of [[Tsangpa Gyare Yeshe Dorje]](1161-1211) founder of the Drukpa Kagyu school and one of the main disciples of [[Lingje Repa Pema Dorje]]. Followers of the [[Drukpa Kagyu]] school consider [[Tsangpa Gyare Yeshe Dorje]] to have been an emanation of Avalokiteshvara and incarnation of [[Naropa]]. This also applies to the subsequent Gyalwang Drukchen incarnations.

There were two immediate incarnations of the [[Kunkhyen Pema Karpo|4th Gyalwang Drukpa, Kunkhyen Pema Karpo]] (1527-1592) - each recognized by a different group of followers: [[Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal]] (1594-1651) and [[Drukchen Pagsam Wangpo| Pagsam Wangpo]], (1593-1653). Pagsam Wangpo was favoured by the powerful Tsang ruler Phuntsog Namgyal (1597-1621) and eventually recognised as the official incarnation in Tibet. [[Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal]] went to Bhutan and established his lineage there.
