'''Shechen Kongtrul Pema Drimé Lekpé Lodrö''' ([[Wyl.]] ''zhe chen kong sprul dri med legs pa'i blo gros'') (1901-c.1960) — the reincarnation of [[Jamgön Kongtrul Lodrö Thayé]] who resided at [[Shechen Monastery]]. He was recognized based on a dream vision in which the [[Gyurme Pema Thekchok Tenpé Gyaltsen|Fifth Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche]] saw the text of the 8,000 verse [[Prajnaparamita]] flying from [[Tsadra Rinchen Drak]] to the east of Derge. He was also given the name Gyurme Kunzang Shenphen Thayé Lodrö Drimé by [[Gyurme Pema Namgyal|Shechen Gyaltsap]]. He might have died in Chinese captivity. He was one of the main teachers of [[Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche]] and also of [[Khenpo Tsöndrü]].

[[Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche]] said:

:"Also at Shechen was a third great lama, Shechen Kongtrul Rinpoche. He lived on the other side of the mountain torrent from Gyaltsap Rinpoche's hermitage, on the flat top of another promontory in the mountainside a delightful place of meadows covered in summer with yellow flowers. Shechen Kongtrul was a great meditator and, like Shechen Gyaltsap, took no part in the monastery's administration, which was looked after by Shechen Rabjam."[http://www.shechen.org/teach_lifedkr_mat.html]
