Ngawang Tenzin Norbu

Ngawang Tenzin Norbu (Wyl. ngag dbang bstan 'dzin nor bu) (1867-1940/42) — one of the main teachers of Kyabjé Trulshik Rinpoche, famous for his commentaries on the Thirty-Seven Practices of the Bodhisattvas. He was a disciple of Trulshik Dongak Lingpa, and became known as the Buddha of Dza Rongphuk (Wyl. rdza rong phu) after his place of retreat and the monastery that he established on the northern slopes of Mount Everest. He also studied for many years at Mindroling Monastery.

In 1922 Ngawang Tenzin Norbu met a group of climbers led by General C. G. Bruce and later wrote about the encounter in his autobiography. (See Macdonald 1973)
