Dolpopa Sherab Gyaltsen

Dolpopa Sherab Gyaltsen (1292-1361), also known as the Buddha from Dolpo. He was a very important teacher, and one of the greatest expert on the tantric teachings of Kālacakra. Dolpopa claimed to have visited the kingdom of Shambhala in his meditations.

Dolpopa emphasized two contrasting definitions of the emptiness teachings in Buddhism, emptiness of self-nature, and emptiness of other-nature Shentong. Dolpopa defined ultimate nature, emptiness of other-nature, as the Buddha-nature inherent in all living beings.
