Yeshe Gyeltsen

Yeshe Gyeltsen (ye shes rgyal mtshan) was a Sakya teacher active most likely in the second half of the fourteenth century, likely in a transmission line of Prajñāpāramitā. His teachers included Pelden Tsultrim (dpal ldan tshul khrims, 1333-1399), Jangchub Tsemo (byang chub rtse mo, 1303-1380) and the Second Zhalu Khenchen Drakpa Gyeltsen (zhwa lu mkhan chen 02 grags pa rgyal mtshan, 1365-1448).

He was a teacher to such prominant lamas as Ngorchen Kunga Zangpo (ngor chen kun dga' bzang po, 1382-1456) and the First Choje Trichen Khyenrab Rinchen Chokdrub (bco brgyad khri chen mkhyen rab rin chen mchog grub, 1436-1498).
