This summary of Yeshé Döndrup's (ye shes don grub) life up to age 39 is based on his autobiography. Born in Stog, Ladakh, Yeshé Döndrup became a monk and studied and excelled at Tashilhunpo (bkra shis lhun po) in Central Tibet where he received the Kachen (bka' chen) degree. He later returned to Ladakh where he met the Italian scholar Guiseppe Tucci. In the concluding remarks, Richardus notes that after Tashilhunpo was re-established in India, Yeshé Döndrup was asked to become abbot of the monastery. (Ben Deitle 2006-03-02)
