Kunzang Sonam of Minyak (b.1823 - d.1905) studied widely, especially in the Geluk tradition, before becoming one of the principal disciples of Patrul Rinpoche and Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo. After his studies, he returned to his homeland of Minyak, where he spent time in isolated hermitages. He was renowned for his ethical conduct and his mastery of the Bodhicaryāvatāra, a text on which he wrote three major commentaries, including his monumental, 460-folio magnum opus, Excellent Vase. His writings also include a guide to Ngulchu Tokme Zangpo’s Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva, commentaries on two sūtras, and, it is claimed, several texts published in the name of his own student, Loter Wangpo.
