2. SUPPLEMENTARY PRAYER TO THE LINEAGE

LOSAL TENKYONG

The supplementary lineage prayer that forms the content of the short second chapter was composed by Losal Tenkyong of Zhalu at the behest of Jamyang Khyentsé Wangpo. It commences with Kunga Drolchok (1507–1565), the compiler of the One Hundred and Eight Guidebooks, and continues through the Jonang line of transmission as follows: the latter’s disciple Draktopa Choku Lhawang Drakpa (fl. sixteenth century), and reincarnation Tāranātha (also known as Drolwei Gonpo Kunga Nyingpo, 1575–1634), the ḍākinī Ratnavajriṇī (also known as Jonang Jetsunma Kunga Trinle Pelwangmo, 1585–1668), Khenchen Rinchen Gyatso Neten Dorjedzin (fl. seventeenth century), Nyingpo Lodro Tayé (fl. seventeenth century), Dzalongkar Lama Drubwang Kunzang Wangpo (fl. early eighteenth century), Katok Rigdzin Tsewang Norbu (1698–1755), Ngawang Nampar Gyelwa, On Dzalongkar Lama Kunzang Chojor, Drinchen Lobzang Tutob (fl. late eighteenth–early nineteenth centuries), Chakzampa Tulku Nyima Chopel, and the hermit Zhalu Lotsāwa Losal Tenkyong (b. 1804). Thereafter the lineage passed to Jamyang Khyentsé Wangpo (1820–1892) and Jamgön Kongtrul Lodrö Tayé (1813–1899), compiler of The Treasury of Precious Instructions.
