About Gyalwa Changchub

Lasum Gyalwa Changchup was a highly educated monk, having been one of the first seven Tibetans to receive full ordination from Shantarakshita. He traveled to India multiple times and translated sacred texts. He was a devoted student of Padmasambhava and was said to have achieved siddhi, which enabled him to fly. It is believed that Rigdzin Kunzang Sherab, the founder of Palyül Monastery in Kham, was one of his reincarnations.
