Rechung Dorje Drakpa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Jump to: navigation, search
Rechung Dorje Drakpa (Wylie: Ras-chung Rdo-rje Grags-pa) [1083/4-1161], known
as Rechungpa, was one of the two most important students of the 11th century
Kagyu yogi and poet Milarepa (the other being Gampopa). Rechungpa founded the
Rechung Kagyu lineage and was particularly important in the transmission of the
cycle of esoteric teachings of Cakrasa vara known as the Demchog Nyengy (bde
mchog snyan brgyud), Demchog-Khandro Nyengy or Rechung Nyengy (ras chung
snyan brgyud)

Tibetan Buddhists believe Rechungpa compiled the The Six Equal Tastes from Indian
sources. The text was hidden by Rechungpa, later to be recovered by the terton
Tsangpa Gyare, founder of the Drukpa lineage in Tibet.
