Life

He was sent abroad three times to study in Kashmir and India and translated many Buddhist scriptures. He was the great teacher of the first school of New Translations ( gsar ma ). He was given the honorary title of Dorje Lopön .

According to the Blue Annals , Rinchen Sangpo mastered and explained all the main texts of the Prajnaparamita and Tantra classes, in particular he explained yoga tantras. According to Go Lotsawa , it is mainly thanks to this translator that most of the tantric teachings were more widespread during the later heyday of Tibetan Buddhism than during the earlier ones .

He had many students, including the main students Lochung Legpe Sherab ( lo chung legs pa'i shes rab ), Gungshing Tsondru Gyeltshen ( gur shing brtson 'grus rgyal mtshan from mang nang ), Drapa Shönnu Sherab ( gzhon nu shes rab from Dra ( gra )) and Kyinor Jnana ( skyi nor jny'ana ), who were known as his "four spiritual sons" ( thugs sras ).

He is said to have founded over a hundred monasteries, mainly in western Tibet ( Ngari ) and Ladakh ( Mar yul ).

The Thoding Monastery (Tholing Monastery), the oldest monastery and religious center of the Ngari area , of which he later became abbot, was founded under the Guge Crown Prince and tribal chief Yeshe Ö ( tib.ye shes' od ) .

Rinchen Sangpo is also said to have founded the Manam Monastery in Zanda (Tsada), the Tabo Monastery in the Spiti Valley of Himachal Pradesh and Khorchag Gönpa in Burang .

Yeshe Pel from Kyithang ( Khyi-thang-pa Ye-shes-dpal ) in Guge wrote his biography.
