Jonang Chogle Namgyel ( Tib. Jo nang phyogs las rnam rgyal ; * 1306 ; † 1386 ) was an important representative of the Jonang School of Tibetan Buddhism. He was a student of Dölpopa and one of the teachers of Tsongkhapa (1357–1419) and a representative of the doctrine of Shentong ( Tib. Gzhan stong ), a doctrine of emptiness.

He was one of the lineage holders of the Jonangpa Kalachakra lineage .

According to false information from well-known Tibetan scholars - such as Sumpa Khenpo Yeshe Peljor (1704–1787 or 1788) in his Pagsam Jonsang (Tib. Dpag bsam ljon bzang ) and Desi Sanggye Gyatsho (1653–1705) in his Yellow Beryl (Tibetan / Sanskrit Vaidurya ser po , a story of the Gelug school) - is said to Je Tsongkhapa (1357–1419) from Bodong Chogle Namgyel ( bo dong phyogs las rnam rgyal ; 1376–1451) the teachings of the six-limbed yoga (Skt. Sadanga Yoga) of the Kalachakra tantra instead of (correctly) from Jonang Chogle Namgyel.

“This misunderstanding developed amongst the later Tibetan scholars, especially Gelukpa scholars, who branded Bodong Chokley Namgyal and his tradition holders as adherents of the doctrine of“ emptiness of the other ”where the chief proponents of which were the Jonang tradition holders. (During the time of the 5th Dalai Lama the doctrine of "emptiness of other" was not in favor and it was banned in the central Tibet.) "
