The teacher referenced in Lama Gonpo's bio is Changma Khenchen Thubten Chopel aka Bathur Khenpo Thupga, or Thubga Yishyin Norbu (1886-1956) — an important student of Khenpo Yonga and Orgyen Tenzin Norbu who followed in the footsteps of Patrul Rinpoche. He was renowned for his great scholarship, especially in relation to the Guhyagarbha Tantra, his contribution to the flourishing of the monastic tradition, and his realization of the Dzogchen teachings. Some of his most important students were: Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok, Gonpo Tseten Rinpoche, Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche and the Sixth Dzogchen Rinpoche, Jigdral Changchub Dorje.
