Khyeuchung Lotsāwa

Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old

Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.

A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!

We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

Kyeuchung Lotsāwa (khye'u chung lo tsA ba) was born into the Drokmi ('grog mi) clan, and was said to have been the incarnation of an Indian mahapaṇḍita. He earned his name, which means “boy translator,” by learning Sanskrit at an early age. He remained a householder, and, becoming a disciple of Padmasambhava, became a master of the early transmission tantra.

He is remembered for having the ability, by means of mudra, to attract and catch birds and then give them teachings. He is counted among the twenty-five disciples of Padmasambhava (rje ’bangs gnyer lnga).

Among those said to have been his reincarnations were Dudul Dorje (bdud 'dul rdo rje, 1615-1672), the Fifth Zhechen Rabjam, Tenpe Gyeltsen (zhe chen rab 'byams 05 bstan pa'i rgyal mtshan, 1650-1704), Dudjom Lingpa (bdud 'joms gling pa, 1835-1904), and Dudjom Jikdrel Yeshe Dorje (bdud 'joms 'jigs bral ye shes rdo rje, 1904-1987).
