Situ Penchen Chökyi Chungne (b. 1700; d. 1774) was the 8th Tai Situpa of the Karma Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism. Chökyi Chungne was a disciple of the 12th Karmapa, Changchub Dorje. He was a grammarian and author, a leading master of the ‘Karma-Gadri’ style (Tib.: karma sgar bris) of thangka painting[1], and is regarded as the founder of Pelpung Chökhor Ling Monastery.
