Chennga Tsultrim Bar (spyan snga tshul khrims 'bar) (b. 1038 - d. 1103) was one of the three main disciples of Dromton Gyelwa Jungne, along with Potowa Rinchen Sel and Puchungwa Zhonnu Gyeltsen. These three disciples were known as the “three brothers” (sku mched rnam gsum).[1]

Tsultrim Bar is also said to have met Atīśa Dīpaṃkara in Nyetang, where the master stayed in his old age.[2] According to traditional accounts, Atiśa placed his hand on Tsultrim Bar's head and blessed him in Sanskrit. Atiśa also gave him a lotus-beaked vase that had belonged to Dharmakīrti.[2]

Tsultrim Bar founded several monasteries in Taktse, Tibet, including Lo Monastery (lo dgon), Ney Monastery (gnas dgon), and Wosel Monastery ('od gsal dgon).[2]
