Mokchokpa Rinchen Tsondrü (1110-1170?) was born in Lhabu in the Shang Valley of Namling County in Western Tibet. In his youth, he studied many texts, including the Prajnaparamita. He received both maturing and liberating teachings from Lama Burgom Nakpo, a disciple of the lord Rechungpa and spent five years with him. Khyungpo Naljor told him that during a dream Amithabha Buddha told him to give him the instructions of the Shangpa one-to-one guru to disciple transmission and Mokchokpa received all the Shangpa teachings and became the Shangpa lineage holder. After Khyungpo Naljor's death, he spent two years in solitary meditation. He developed experiences and realization of Illusory Form, Dream Yoga and Clear Light. He met Gampopa to clarify his doubts with his practice and received all the Mahamudra teachings and instructions. Mokchokpa had complete understanding of the Mahamudra precepts. Mokchokpa stayed meditating in a mountain cave in the Mokchok area and had many visions that he would built a monastery in Mokchok and gathered many disciples. As Mokchokpa lay dying he sang a song to his disciples and said: "After this life I will go to the Eastern pure Land of Joy, Called Light Brilliance where I will attain enlightenment, and turn the wheel of Dharma.

When the previous Kalu Rinpoche was in Lhasa in the 1950's, he dreamed of a very special child which he strongly considered an incarnation of Mokchokpa. This was later confirmed both by H.H. the 16th Karmapa and the then regent of Tibet. The child was eventually enthroned and began his education. He presently resides in France (see link below).
