Buddha Dromtonpa

Dromtönpa (AD 1004-1064) was Atisha’s foremost disciple and is one of the lineage Gurus of our Kadampa tradition.

While in India, Atisha had received a prediction from Buddha Tara about this future lay disciple in Tibet, whom Tara said would cause Dharma to flourish far and wide.

After Atisha’s death, Dromtönpa was regarded as his representative and respected as his equal.
