'Rechung Dorje Drakpa' (
Wylie: Ras-chung Rdo-rje Grags-pa), known as 'Rechungpa', was one of two important students of the 11th century
yogi and poet
Milarepa (the other being
Gampopa). Rechungpa founded the
Rechung Kagyud school.
Tibetan Buddhists believe Rechungpa compiled the ''
The Six Equal Tastes'' from Indian sources. The text was hidden by Rechungpa, later to be recovered by the ''
terton''
Tsangpa Gyare, founder of the
Drukpa order in western
Tibet.
