[[zhabs dkar tshogs drug rang grol]] (1781-1851), one of the most outstanding masters of the 18th/19th century. A true proponent of the [[Rime]] ([[ris med]]) ideal who had nothing but the highest regard for the teachings and practices of all schools of Buddhism in Tibet. Born in the Rekong region of Amdo, at [[mdo smad reb kong zho 'ong la kha]], he first met teachers of the [[Gelug]] tradition. Later he travelled to Mongolia and met his destined root teacher, [[Chögyal Ngakyi Wangpo]] (1736-1807), from whom he received many [[Nyingma]] cycles of [[Dzogchen]] teachings. Most notably among these was the cycle of [[rta phag yid bzhin nor bu]] which he practised and propagated widely all his life. Apart from that he also studied under [[Kagyu]] and [[Sakya]] masters. Shabkar was famous for his prolonged rereats in mountain solitudes, much like [[Jetsun Milarepa]], and was even considered an emanation of his by some. Among many other places, he also spent considerable time at [[Kangkar Tise]], [[Tsari]] and [[Lapchi]] where he did retreat in the famous [[Cave of the Subjugation of Mara]] ([[bdud 'dul phug mo che]]) of Milarepas. While there he also founded the small monastery of [[Chöra Gephel Ling]] ([[chos ra dge 'phel gling]]), which still exists today. Shabkar composed many songs of realisation and other texts. A comprehensive list of these, as well as an excellent translation of his autobiography, can be found in [[The Life of Shabkar]] (ISBN 1-55939-154-5).
