Drokmi Lotsawa

Drokmi Lotsawa Shakya Yeshe (wyl. brog mi lotsawa shakya ye shes) (992-1072/1074). One of the most important source of the Sakya teachings is the great Indian master Virupa (9th century), one of the 84 Mahasiddhas, through Gayadhara (994-1043) to his Tibetan disciple, Drokmi Lotsawa. Drokmi Lotsawa passed the lineage to his main disciple, Khön Könchok Gyalpo (1034-1102), founder of the Sakya order of Tibetan Buddhism. Marpa Lotsawa also studied for fifteen years Sanskrit and other subjects under the guidance of Drokmi Lotsawa.
