Katok Tsewang Norbu
Katok Tsewang Norbu (, 1698–1755) was a teacher of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism who notably championed the shentong () or "empty of other" view first popularised by the Jonang school as well as examining the Chan Buddhist teachings of Hashang Mahayana, known as Moheyan. Despite the shentong view being banned as heretical, he successfully taught and cultivated its teachings as a legitimate view among the Nyingmapa. His seat was the Katok Monastery of Tibet. Scholarly impact Katok Tsewang Norbu's interests spanned many of the important non-Gelug teachings of Tibetan Buddhism and Bon, including several not associated with the Nyingma schools: His interest in Chan, which was popularly understood as "defeated" as a teaching in Tibet at a famous debate and even has a Cham dance ridiculing Hashang Mahayana, may have been spurred by Gelug attacks on Nyingma teachings such as Dzogchen as well as against other "simultaneist" teachings of the Sarma schools such as Mahamudra. ...

Tibetan Name
Tibetan names typically consist of two juxtaposed elements. Family names are rare except among those of aristocratic ancestry and then come before the personal name (but diaspora Tibetans living in societies that expect a surname may adopt one). For example, in Ngapoi Ngawang Jigme, ''Ngapoi'' was his family name and ''Nga-Wang Jigmê'' his personal name. Tibetan nomads (''drokpa'') also use clan names; in farming communities, they are now rare and may be replaced by household name. Tibetan culture is patrilineal; descent is claimed from the four ancient clans that are said to have originally inhabited Ancient Tibet: Se, Rmu, Stong and Ldong. The ancient clan system of Tibet is called rus-ba (རུས་པ), meaning bone or bone lineage. The four clans were further divided into branches which are Dbra, Vgru, Ldong, Lga, Dbas and Brdav. With inter-clan marriages, the subclans were divided into many sub-branches. While Tibetans from Kham and Amdo use their clan names as surnames ...
