Gyiling Tukchok Dorje was a nineteenth-century scholar and teacher in Golok. He was a disciple of the First Dodrubchen, Getse Mahāpaṇḍita, and other important lamas at Katok Monastery. He founded Gyilung Monastery where he was a respected historian and teacher.
Horpo Śākya Dorje was a lama associated with Katok who most likely lived in the thirteenth-century lama. The one surviving text attributed to him is The All-Encompassing Lamp of Awareness: A Detailed Exposition of the Nine Yānas.
Terton Zilnon Namka Dorje was a treasure revealer from Kham who lived in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He was considered an emanation of the translator Vairocana and Nanam Dudjom Dorje—two of Padmasambhava's twenty-five close disciples. He is best remembered now as an important teacher to Dudjom Rinpoche, who credited him with deepening and expanding his meditative realization.
