bio	Khenchen Kunzang Pelden was a Nyingma scholar and teacher associated with Katok Monastery. A student of a number of distinguished Nyingma teachers including Dza Patrul and Ju Mipam, he was an important Longchen Nyingtik lineage holder. He composed a famous commentary to the Bodhisattvacaryāvatāra (The Nectar of Manjushri's Speech), and served Katok Monastery as the first abbot of its study center, Shedrub Norbu Lhunpo, for three years. Following retirement he returned to his hometown and taught until his death in 1944. (Source: Treasury of Lives) Free digital Tibetan texts by Kunzang Palden here on DharmaCloud.
