Khenpo Yönga (Khenchen Yönten Gyatso) (nineteenth century) was a personal student of Patrul Rinpoche and Orgyen Tendzin Norbu. He belonged to Gemang monastery, a branch of Dzogchen monastery, and studied at Dzogchen and Shechen monasteries. He wrote a very popular two-part commentary on Rigdzin Jikme Lingpa's Treasury of Precious Qualities, called Rays of Moonlight and Rays of Sunlight. Among his students were Changma Khenchen Thubten Chöpel (the teacher of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and Khenpo Jikmé Phuntsok) and Washul Mew Khenchen Chöwang Rigdzin (who attained the rainbow body).
