Pawo Tsuglag Threngwa
Tibetan historian and Buddhist monk (1504–1566)
Pawo Tsuglag Threngwa (Tibetan: དཔའ་བོ་གཙུག་ལག་ཕྲེང་བ, Wylie: dpa' bo gtsug lag phreng ba) (1504–1566), the second Nenang Pawo, was a Tibetan historian of the Karma Kagyu. He was a disciple of Mikyö Dorje, 8th Karmapa Lama.[1] He was the author of the famous mkhas pa'i dga' ston, A Scholar's Feast, addressing history of Buddhism in India and its spread in Tibet, as well as the history of Tibet.[2][3][4]
Of Tsuklak Trengwa's many students, his chief disciples included the Ninth Karmapa Wangchuk Dorje, the Fifth Zhamar Konchok Yenlag, and the Third Tsurpu Gyeltsab, Drakpa Peljor (mtshur phu rgyal tshab 03 grags pa dpal 'byor, 1519–1549).[3]
In 1565, a year before his death, he wrote a detailed commentary of the Bodhisattvacaryāvatāra (Wylie: gtsug lag ’grel chen).[5]
His dharma histories were cited by the 4th Drikung Chetsang, Tenzin Peme Gyaltsen (1770–1826) in The Golden Garland of the Throne Lineage (Denrab Chöjung Serthreng, gdan rabs chos byung gser phreng).[6]
