Gyalwa Chokyang

Gyalwa Chokyang (Wyl. rgyal ba mchog dbyangs) — one of the twenty-five disciples of Guru Rinpoche and ordained as a monk by Shantarakshita. During the empowerment of Kagyé given by Guru Rinpoche in the caves of Samye Chimpu, his flower fell on the mandala of Hayagriva. As a result of his practice he was able to transform himself into the deity, and he heard the neigh of the horse on the crown of his head.
