Shardza Tashi Gyaltsen (Tibetanཤར་རྫ་བཀྲ་ཤིས་རྒྱལ་མཚནWylieshar rdza bkra shis rgyal mtshan) (1859 - 1933[1] or 1935[2]) was a great Dzogchen master of the Bon tradition of Tibet who took not only Bon disciples, but gathered students from all traditions of Tibetan Buddhism.[3]

According to tradition, Shardza Tashi Gyeltsen famously realized the rainbow body.

Chaoul (2006) opened the discourse of Bon traditions of Trul khor into Western scholarship in English with his thesis from Rice University, which makes reference to writings of Shardza Tashi Gyaltsen, particularly the Most Profound Heavenly Storehouse None Other than the Oral Transmission of Trul Khor Energy Control Practices (Wylieyang zab nam mkha' mdzod chen las snyan rgyud rtsa rlung 'phrul 'khor).[4]
