Notes

Sakya Tridzin 6, fourth of the Five Sakya Patriarchs. Nephew of Sakya Jetsün Drakpa Gyeltsen and Sönam Tsemo.

Sakya Pandita received the Shangpa teachings from Chiwo Lhepa Jangchup Ö, one of his three main ordination masters. He was also a spiritual heir of the Rechung Kagyü teachings transmitted by Burgom Nakpo then Mokchokpa Rinchen Tsöndrü, perhaps following Shutön Dorjé Kyab, another of his three masters, who transmitted the teachings of Mokchokpa (sdom pa gsum gyi rab tu dbye ba'i bstan bcos, p.482)
