NotesOnNames There seems to be some confusion with this person and Zhang rin chen ye shes. In terms of the authorship of this work rgyud bla ma'i 'grel pa, BDRC attributes it to Zhang rin chen ye shes, while Tsering Wangchuk in The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows repeatedly associates this work with rta nag rin chen ye shes, though this assessment seems to be based, at least partially, on the research of Cyrus Stearns found in The Buddha from Dölpo.
YearBirth 13th Century
YearDeath 1345/1346
DatesNotes There are no specific dates for this figure, though the estimate of his death is based on a statement in the biography of Thogs med bzang po that he passed away shortly after they met in 1345.
