Khutön Tsöndru Yungdrung (T. khu ston brtson 'grus g.yung drung) (1011-1075) was one of the main disciples of Atisha. He was a teacher from the Khu family, who "was famous for reviving the monastery of Yarlung Sölnak Thangpoche. This monastery had been established by the master Drumer, who lived during the time of the great Vinaya teacher Lu-me, at the beginning of the later spreading of the dharma in Tibet. Khu made this monastery his center and nurtured the teachings there."[1]
