Dorje Drak Rigzin 01

Rigdzin Gödem (Tib. རིག་འཛིན་རྒོད་ལྡེམ།, rig 'dzin rgod ldem, 1337–1409). also known as Rigdzin Gokyi Demtru Chen and Ngodrub Gyaltsen, was a major Nyingma tertön (a revealer of treasure texts in Tibetan Buddhism). He revealed an important cycle of termas called the "Northern Treasures" or byanggter (because they were found north of the Yarlung Valley). According to the Dalai Lama, "the main seat and source of this tradition is the monastery of Thubten Dorje Drak, built in 1632, by the third Rigdzin Chenmo Ngak gi Wangpo."
