Chim Lozang Drakpa (T. mchims blo bzang grags pa) (1299-1375) was the twelfth abbot of Narthang and the great nephew of Chim Jampaiyang.[1]
- He composed the Ocean of Excellent Explanation Clarifying Abhidharma, also known as the Small Chimzö, in response to the length and complexity of the Great Chimzö. Tradition holds that after Tsongkhapa was born in the Domé region in 1357, Chim Losang Drak requested Chöjé Döndrup Rinchen, whom he predicted would be the child’s teacher, to give the young child his own name, Losang Drakpa. He agreed, and the founder of the Geluk tradition came to be named after him.[1]
