Dölpa Sherab Gyatso
Dölpa Sherab Gyatsho (T. dol pa shes rab rgya mtsho) (1059 - 1131). A prominent transmitter of the Kadampa teachings of Tibetan Buddhism.[1] He was known by several names, including Dölpa Marshurwa, Sherap Gyatso, and simply “Spiritual mentor of Döl” (Geshé Dölpa), after his home region.[1]
After studying with a number of teachers, he met the highly influential Kadampa master Potowa Rinchen Sel (1017/31-1105) and stayed with him for twenty-two years. In later years Geshé Dölpa founded his own monastery of Yangang in Döl. The chronicles mention that he had more than a thousand disciples, including the famous Kagyu hierarch Phakmodrupa Dorjé Gyalpo.[1]
Dölpa Sherab Gyatsho is credited as the author of The Blue Udder (T. Be’u bum sngon po), a Kadampa text on the stages of the path as taught by Potowa Rinchen Sel.[2]
