Öntö Khyenrab Chökyi Özer

Öntö Khyenrab Chökyi Özer (b. 1889) - the second khenpo of Dzongsar shedra and also Khenpo Shenga’s successor at Palpung shedra.

Alak Zenkar Rinpoche says:

"In most shedras, they would teach the thirteen great texts one after another as you went from one class to the next, but Öntö Khyenrab would teach the Bodhicharyavatara all the time—throughout the whole year, summer and winter—and whenever he finished the text, in that same session he would go back and start again at the beginning of the text. It is said that he taught the Bodhicharyavatara continually throughout his entire life."
