Patrul Rinpoche Kunzang Shenpen.[1]

Tsö Patrul Rinpoche aka Patrul Rinpoche Kunzang Shenpen Özer of Tsö (twentieth century) — a student of Adzom Drukpa and an immediate reincarnation of Patrul Rinpoche, born near Repkong in Tsö, Amdo. According to Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche[2], Patrul Rinpoche of Tsö was an emanation of Avalokiteshvara and a very unusual person who would feed hundreds of beggars at his monastery upon condition that they enter the gate of the Dharma and undertake the ngöndro preliminary practices. Patrul Rinpoche of Tso's principal successor was Gonpo Tseten Rinpoche.
