Choje Dondrub Rinchen was a Kadam master from Amdo who, after studying in central Tibet, established Shadrung and Jakhyung monasteries. He was Tsongkhapa's first teacher, the man who gave him his novice vows as well as the ordination name of Lobzang Drakpa, and he remained a major source of guidance and inspiration throughout the latter's life.

Dondrup Rinchen: Precious Light: A Commentary on the Ultimate Continuum
Composed by Dondup Rinchen, the first teacher of Tsongkhapa, this clear and moderate-size commentary presents an interpretation of Buddha-Nature as reality which has latent qualities of the Buddha. Thus, Dhondup Rinchen's interpretations differs from the position held by his student Tsongkhapa and the latter's followers. He refutes the position held by earlier Tibetan scholars, which one finds later adopted by the Gelukpa tradition.
