Chokro Lui Gyaltsen (T. cog ro klu'i rgyal mtshan). An early Tibetan translator who worked closely with the Indian translators Vimalamitra, Jnanagarbha, Jinamitra and Surendrabodhi. Along with Kawa Paltsek, he was sent to India by king Trisong Detsen to invite Vimalamitra to Tibet. He later received the Vima Nyingtik teachings from Vimalamitra in Samyé.
He is vital to the continuation of the Vinaya lineage in Tibet. Having attained realization at Chuwori, he aided Padmasambhava in transcribing and concealing terma texts.
His later incarnations include Karma Lingpa.
