Dromtön Gyelwe Chungne ( Tib. : 'Brom ston pa rgyal ba'i' byung gnas ; also: Dromtonpa , Dromtonpa * 1004/ 1005 , † 1064 ) was one of the foremost disciples of Atisha . In 1056/1057 Drom Tönpa founded the Radreng Monastery north of Lhasa , which became the main center of the Kadam , the first Sarma tradition of Buddhism in Tibet . For this reason, Drom Tönpa is also known as the “founder of the Kadam tradition”. Three lineages of Lamrim teachings were passed on from him ( gzhung pa ba ; lam rim pa ; man ngag pa ).
