Lochen Dharmaśrī was the 2nd Minling Khenchen Rinpoche of Mindrölling Monastery and a central figure in the Phug school of Tibetan astronomy and astrology , which goes back to Lhündrub Gyatsho and to which Norsang Gyatsho (1423-1513) also belonged.

He was killed by Djungarian invaders who were chasing followers of the Nyingma school.
