Jetsun Kunga Drolchog (kun dga' grol mchog, 1507-1566) was both a [[Sakya]] and [[Jonang]] master and one of the 16th century's greatest non-sectarian masters. A true forerunner of the later Rime movement. He was born in the small kingdom of Mustang in present-day Nepal. At first studying extensively under various Sakya masters, he later became the throne-holder of Jonang monastery and one of the main propagators of the Dro lineage of Kālacakra. From Gyagom Legpa Gyaltsen he received the transmission of the [[Shangpa]] lineage and became an avid practitioner of the [[Six Doctrines of Niguma]], which he reportedly passed on to other masters and students more than a hundred times. Especially within the Shangpa lineage he is famous for having eventually received all the twenty-four extant Shangpa transmission lineages of his time. He beheld a vision of the Jnanadakini [[Niguma]] and thus received his very own close transmission of the Shangpa teachings from her. After a short-lived rebirth as the Indian prince [[Rama-Gopala]] (rgyal sras dga' byed sa skyong), he incarnated as the illustrious Jonangpa master Jetsun [[Tāranātha]].
