From the east there was a lamp of the teachings named the holy one, Chone Lama Drakpa Shedrup. He was born in the 18th century, in a place in Amdo known as Chone. He went to Sera Mey college in central Tibet to study and learn: to thoroughly master the teachings of the great scriptures. After that he returned to his birthplace and was a teacher at the great Chone Monastery where he gave extensive teachings. Of those, we have about twenty volumes. Among these are teachings on Middle Way philosophy, the Perfection of Wisdom, Discipline, Higher Knowledge, Valid Perception, the four classes of Secret teachings, as well as others.
