Shabkar Tsodruk Rangdrol

Tib., zhabs dkar tshogs drug rang grol

Most often simply referred to as Shabkar, this 19th century Tibetan hermit (1781-1850/51) and adept is probably as famous as he is unique for his time. Born in the province of Amdo, he underwent training under the guidance of several Buddhist masters in his early youth, after which he devoted himself to many years of meditation practice in solitary retreat, living as a hermit and not much different from the way 10th and 11th century adepts such as Milarepa have done. His name is based on Shab Karpo (zhabs dkar po), the so-called 'White footprint' (of the historical Buddha Shakyamuni) on Mt. Kailash.
Although there were many others, Shabkar's main teacher was Chögyal Ngakyi Wangpo (chos rgyal ngag gi dbang po, 1736-1807).

Once he had mastered the highest and most esoteric practices of the Tibetan tradition, Dzogchen as well as Chöd, he began to wander far and wide throughout the Himalayan region; expressing his realization in personal teachings as well as through his many written texts:

Several incarnations of Shabkar are known
1. [missing info],
2. Thekchog Tenpai Nyima (theg mchog bstan pa'i nyi ma,
3. Yeshe Tenpai Gyaltsen (ye shes bstan pa'i rgyal mtshan).
