Short biography

Gyanak studied under Drophukpa from the age of thirty for eleven years, and owing to his intellectual abilities and devotion, Drophugpa bestowed upon him the fundamental texts and practical instructions for Mahäyoga, Anuyoga and Atiyoga. For this reason, he became the most complete lineage-holder of the Zurs. His many students included Upa Tonsäk, Upa Zhigpo, and his own nephew, Yonten Zung (b. 1126) who studied the three classes of inner tantra under him for thirteen years. The lineage therefore descended from Yonten Zung and Upa Zhigpo through Zhigpo Dudtsi.
