Lala Sonam Chödrup

Lala Sönam Chödrup (T. glag bla bsod nams chos 'grub གླག་བླ་བསོད་ནམས་ཆོས་འགྲུབ་) aka Khenchen Chödrup and Rigtsal Dorje (T. rig rtsal rdo rje རིག་རྩལ་རྡོ་རྗེ་) (1862-1944) was a scholar connected with Dzogchen Monastery who was regarded as a speech emanation of Dzogchen Pema Rigdzin. He studied at Shri Singha shedra and gained the title of khenpo, but refused an appointment there, preferring to travel and continue his studies.

He composed five volumes of writings, including a biography of Longchenpa and works on the Bodhicharyavatara and the Guhyagarbha Tantra.
