Saṃghabhadra + (Saṃghabhadra. (T. 'Dus bzang; C. Zhongxian … Saṃghabhadra. (T. 'Dus bzang; C. Zhongxian; J. Shugen; K. Chunghyǒn 衆賢) (c. fifth century CE). In Sanskrit, "Auspicious to the Community"; the proper name of an influential Indian master of the Vaibhāṣika school of Sarvāstivāda Abhidharma. Historical sources suggest that Saṃghabhadra hailed from Kashmir and was a younger contemporary of his principal rival Vasubandhu. The historical records of Xuanzang and Paramārtha agree that Saṃghabhadra publicly challenged Vasubandhu to debate, but his challenge was never accepted. Saṃghabhadra's most famous works include the *''Nyāyānusāra'', or "Conformity with Correct Principle," and the *''Abhidharmasamayapradīpikā'' (C. Xianzong lun), or "Exposition of Accepted Doctrine." The *''Nyāyānusāra'' is both a clarification of the Abhidharma philosophy of the Vaibhāṣika school and a critical commentary on the presentation found in Vasubandhu's ''Abhidharmakośabhāṣya''. The later ''Samayapradīpikā'' is a shorter explanation of the doctrines of the Vaibhāṣikas, which in large measure summarizes the positions explored in the *''Nyāyānusāra''. Neither of these works survives in their Sanskrit originals but only in their Chinese translations. Saṃghabhadra's defense of Kashmir Sarvāstivāda-Vaibhāṣika positions ushered in the neo-Vaibhāṣika period of Sarvāstivāda thought, which took the *''Nyāyānusāra'' and the ''Samayapradīpikā'' as its main texts.

He went to Luoyang (洛陽), in 252, the fourth year of the Jiaping (嘉平) years of the Cao Wei Kingdom (220–65). He stayed at the White Horse Temple and translated, from Sanskrit into Chinese, the ''Sūtra of Amitāyus Buddha'' (T12n0360) and the ''Sūtra of the Elder Ugra''. The latter is included in the ''Great Treasure Pile Sūtra'' (T11n0310) as its 19th sūtra, in fascicle 82. Scholars question the consistency in style between these two translations. Still, he has been recognized as the translator of the Sūtra of Amitāyus Buddha.He is not to be confused with two other Saṅghavarmans.

Influential early Chinese monk and exegete, whose writings helped to popularize the works of the Madhyamaka school in China. Sengzhao is said to have been born into an impoverished family but was able to support himself by working as a copyist. Thanks to his trade, he was able to read through much of traditional Chinese literature and philosophy, including such Daoist classics as the ''Zhuangzi'' and ''Laozi'', and is said to have resolved to become a monk after reading the ''Vimalakīrtinirdeśa''. He later became a disciple of Kumārajīva and served as the Chinese-language stylistfor Kumārajīva’s translations. After Yao Xing (r. 394-416) of the Latter Qin dynasty (384-417) destroyed the state of Liang in 401, Sengzhao followed his teacher to Chang’an, where he and his colleague Sengrui (352-436) were appointed as two of the main assistants in Kumārajīva’s translation bureau there. YaoXing ordered them to elucidate the scriptures Kumārajīva had translated, so Sengzhao subsequently wrote his ''Bore wuzhi lun'' to explicate the ''Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikāprajñāpāramitāsūtra'' that Kumārajīva and his team had translated in 404. This and other influential treatises by Sengzhao were later compiled together as the Zhao lun. Sengzhao’s treatises and his commentary on the ''Vimalakīrtinirdeśa'' played a crucial role in the development of Mahāyāna thought in China. Sengzhao is treated retrospectively as a vaunt Courier in the San lun zong, the Chinese analogue of the Madhyamaka school, which was formally established some two centuries later by Jizang (549-623). The influential ''Baozang lun'' is also attributed to Sengzhao, although that treatise is probably a later work of the early Chan tradition. (Source: "Sengzhao."

Zhapdrung Ngawang Namgyal + (Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal [1594-1651], was … Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal [1594-1651], was an immediate reincarnation of the 4th Gyalwang Drukchen ('brug chen), the Omniscient Pema Karpo (kun mkhyen padma dkar po) and the 18th throne-holder and "hereditary prince" of Ralung (rwa lung). Like all previous Ralung throne holders, he was born into the branch of the noble Gya (rgya) family desended from Lha Nyen and Lha Bum who were the elder brothers of Tsangpa Gyare Yeshe Dorje the founder of the Drukpa Kagyu and the first Drukchen. This branch of the Gya clan produced all the Drukpa heirarchs and controlled the the main branch the Drukpa Kagyu sect centered at Ralung and Nam Druk (gnam ’brug) monasteries from the time of Tsangpa Gyare up until the 14th Ralung Heirarch and Second Drukchen Gyalwang Kunga Paljor (1428-1476). Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal's father was Drukpa Mipham Tenpai Nyima (yab chen mi pham bstan pa'i nyi ma) [1567-1619] the son of Drukpa Mipham Chögyal, and his mother was Sonam Pelkyi Butri (bsod nams dpal gyi bu khrid), daughter of the ruler (sde pa) of skyid shod.Although he was enthroned as the 18th Abbot of Ralung (rwa lung), the seat of the hereditary lineage and first 'brug pa monastery to be established in Tibet, Ngawang Namgyal was compelled to flee Tibet in 1616 in order to escape the persecution of the powerful king of Tsang, a supporter of the Karma Kagyu, who recognized Pagsam Wangpo (dpag bsam dbang po) (1592-1641) [his own nephew and an illegitimate son of the 'phyongs rgyas myriarch], as the 5th Drukchen incarnation.Following a prophecy of Padmasambhava in the gsang ba'i nor bu’i thig le’i rgyud (''lho rong lho sgo bas mthar bsti gnas tshol // de ltar byas na bod yul mi lo bdun // bsgom bsgrub byas las gnas der zhag bdun sgrub thag nye //'') and a prophecy of Pema Karpo, Ngawang Namgyal left for western Bhutan, where the Drukpa Kagyu ('brug pa bka' brgyud) school had already been established, and founded the Cheri Monastery in 1619 at the north end of the Thimphu valley. In 1629, he founded his first fortress, Simtokha Dzong, near Thimphu at a place where control could be exerted over traffic between the Paro valley to the west and Trongsa valley to the east.Over his 35 years as the temporal and spiritual ruler of Bhutan, Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal repelled a series of Tibetan invasions and overcame internal opposition to unify the country for the first time in its history.On seven occasions between 1616 and 1679, Tibet launched war against Bhutan, first under the Tsangpa king and, after 1642, under the central Gaden Photang ([dga' ldan pho brang]) government newly established by 5th Dalai Lama, Ngawang Lobzang Gyatso (ngag dbang blo bzang rgya mtsho) [1617-1682].So important was the Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal to the stability of Bhutan during this period that his death was kept secret. In 1651 his closest aids announced that Shabdrung had entered strict retreat - and they continued to maintain that he was "in retreat" like this for more than 50 years issuing edicts in his name until 1705.

Thomas Roth, or rather (Karma) Sherab Drime as he prefers to be called again since having been re-ordained, born in 1963, is a former Radio Operator (the only "proper" profession he ever learned) and became a monk in 1981. He took refuge in February 1977 from Lama Gendun Rinpoche and has been a student of Ven. Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche since February 1979. In 1989, following H.H. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche's advice, he returned his ordination to Lama Gendun Rinpoche and continued to practice as a lay-person until March 2012. He never intended to be a "interpreter or translator" as such and actually only learned Tibetan because in the late 70's and early 80's there were so few translators around, that it was at times difficult to find one when needed. Still a bit at odds with being called a translator by some, he used to interpret mainly for H.E. Drubwang Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche and the late Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche during their annual spring courses in Kathmandu and their summer courses in Germany and Belgium. Since the passing of Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche in March 2012, and H.E. Drubwang Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche's English having improved so much that he doesn't require an interpreter any longer, he considers himself semi-retired and spends most of his time in retreat either in [[Yolmo]] or [[Lapchi]]. Rather than being called a translator, he prefers to be known as a simple practitioner. His main interest, apart from anything Mahamudra, is Tibetan history, particularly the histories of the various Dagpo Kagyu lineages, the Shangpa Kagyu lineage in particular and how it suffused virtually all lineages of Buddhism in Tibet, and the Jonang school. In 2012 he took full Gelong ordination from [[Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche]] and, technically, now answers to the name Karma Lodrö Samphel.
