| 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. |

| BnwShortPersonBio | "Rinchen Yeshé, an expert on the five works of Maitreya, flourished in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries and was primarily a teacher of Ngülchu Togmé (1295–1369).

| PosBuNayDefProv | Definitive |
| PosBuNayDefProvNotes | "Rinchen Yeshé's careful text-critical analysis is meant to demonstrate that the Uttaratantra explicates the ultimate definitive meaning of the Tathāgatagarbhasūtra, Śrīmālādevīsūtra, Laṅkāvatārasūtra, and others..." Wangchuk, Tsering. The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows, p. 35. |

| PosWheelTurn | Third Turning |
| PosWheelTurnNotes | "Rinchen Yeshé quotes from these last-wheel sutras to show that the tathāgata-essence endowed with the marks and signs of a buddha (sangs rgyas kyi mtshan dang dpe byad) naturally exists in all sentient beings." Wangchuk, Tsering. The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows, p. 35. |
| PosZhenRang | Zhentong |
| PosZhenRangNotes | Technically he was more of a precursor to this view, though as an important teacher to Dölpopa, especially for the Five Treatises of Maitreya it is no wonder that the latter's view is heavily indebted to Rinchen Yeshe. See
