'''Gyalwey Lodro of Drey''' ([['bre rgyal ba'i blo gros]]). Beginning as Gönpo, a trusted attendant of [[King Trisong Deutsen]], he became one of the first Tibetans to take ordination, taking the name [[Gyalwey Lodrö]], 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 Lodrö means 'Victorious wisdom.' Alt: [[Gyalwey Lodro of Dré]]
