Gungru Sherab Zangpo

Gungru Sherab Zangpo (gung ru shes rab bzang po, 1411-1475). A Sakya master and teacher of Gorampa.

Himalayan Art Resources states:

In his early twenties, Gorampa fell ill and was prevented from going on a tour of various monastic colleges as he had intended. Instead, in 1453, he went to live at Ngor Evam Choden (ngor E vam chos ldan) where he began to study tantra extensively under Ngorchen Kunga Zangpo (ngor chen kun dga' bzang po, 1382-1456). He also received teachings from Muchen Konchog Gyaltsen (mus chen dkon mchog rgyal mtshan, 1388-1469), Kenchen Khacharwa (mkhan chen kha phyar ba) and Gungru Sherab Zangpo (gung ru shes rab bzang po, 1411-1475). It was Gungru Sherab Zangpo who eventually instructed Gorampa to write his most famous philosophical work, known in English as Distinguishing the View (lta ba'i shan 'byed).
