    Biographies of Drogon Rechen (1088-1158), Naljor Yeshe Wangpo (1220-1281) and Rigowa Ratnabhadra (1281-1343) are to follow. In the links from Dombipa to Chokyi Jungne, (in the Lineage of the Tai Situpas), are Thankhas painted personally by the 8th Tai Situ Chokyi Jungne in the Karma Gadri style of painting that he established. These priceless paintings, long thought to be lost, were recently discovered in a cache of treasures that were uncovered during the renovation of Palpung Monastery in Tibet.
