Konchok Jungne (dkon mchog 'byung gnas) was born in Yaru Chang Tanak (g.yas ru byang rta nag) in Tsang and became an influential minister at the court of King Tri Songdetsen (khri srong lde'u btsan), under the name Langdro (lang gro). Later on he became a monk and translator, taking the name Konchok Jungne, and received the Nyingtik teachings from Padmasambhava.
According to legend, as a result of his practice he could send lightning bolts like shooting arrows wherever he liked. He is said to have liberated both humans and non-humans, and that at his death he manifested as an expanse of light and left no body behind.
Among his incarnations are Ratna Lingpa (ratna gling pa, 1403-1479), Rigdzin Longsel Nyingpo (rig 'dzin klong gsal snying po, 1625-1692), and Dzogchen Drubwang Pema Rigdzin (rdzogs chen grub dbang padma rig 'dzin, 1625-1697).
