 Ratnabhadra
(Tib. Rinchen Zangpo) (15th century) was born in the province
of Soksam. He was ordained at an early age, received teachings and
instructions from many masters of that time, and became one of the
most well-known scholars and meditation masters of the 15th century.
The fifth Karmapa, Deshin Shegpa, gave him the pointing out instructions
on the ultimate meaning of the Kagyu teachings. Thus, he attained
complete realisation of the absolute nature of reality.
He
became the next lineage holder and the guru of the sixth Karmapa,
Tongwa Donden.
