For the Twelfth Karmapa, Changchub Dorje, see the Karmapa Changchub Dorje page.

Changchub Dorje (Wyl. byang chub rdo rje) was a student of Apang Tertön (1895-1945) and the custodian of his teachings. Born in Golok, Tibet, he also studied with Kunzang Nyima, Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö and Dudjom Rinpoche.

He was responsible for transmitting Apang Tertön's lineage to the tertön's tulku, His Holiness Sakya Trizin. Changchub Dorje also gave Apang Tertön's Red Tara cycle to Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche.
