Tropu Lotsāwa Jampa Pel (khro phu lo tsA ba byams pa dpal) (1172? - 1236?). The nephew of Gyeltsa Rinchen Gonpo who established the Trophu Kagyu as a distinct lineage.[1]
He traveled to Nepal where he studied both sutras and tantras under a great paṇḍita named Buddhaśrī, who was born in Bhaktapur of Indian parentage.
Later, he traveled to northern India via the Chumbi Valley in search of the Indian pandit Śākyaśrībhadra; they met in a town called Vaneśvara,[2] and Jampa Pel invited Śākyaśrībhadra to Tibet.[3] During Śākyaśrī's decade-long stay in Tibet, Jampa Pel acted as his translator, earning him the title of Tropu Lotsāwa.[4]
- After Śākyaśrībhadra returned to India Jampa Pel went to Drigung Til ('bri gung mthil) to study with Jikten Gonpo Rinchen Pel ('jig rten mgon po rin chen dpal, 1143-1217). Jikten Gonpo is said to have transmitted the complete works of Marpa Chokyi Lodro , Milarepa, and Gampopa, as well as his own teachings.[4]
