Notes about the Central Figure
Konchog Yanlag (1525-1583).
The 5th Shamarpa Konchog Yanlag had the additional title of Chen-nga Konchog Bang and the personal name of Dawa Chukye. He is considered by some to be the most prolific author among the Shamar incarnations and one of the greatest teachers of the Karma Khamtsang tradition.
