The others were Lodro Sonam Tsemo's teacher Sachen Kunga Nyingpo (cf. No. 8) and Dragpa Gyaltsen (cf. No. 10). The Two Red Masters, who were both monks, were Sakya Pandita Kunga Gyaltsen and Chogyal Phagpa (cf. No. 12).For eleven years he studied with Chawa Chokyi Senge at Sangphu. Sonam Tsemo did a lot of work to systemize the Tantric system. According to tradition he reached the second bodhisattva bhumi level.
