Drakpa Odzer

Drakpa Odzer (Wylie: Grags pa 'od zer; Chinese: 扎巴俄色) (1246 - 1303) was a Tibetan Imperial Preceptor (Dishi) at the court of the Mongol-led Yuan dynasty of China.

The Dishi resided near the emperor and had a major influence in the Bureau of Buddhist and Tibetan Affairs (Xuanzheng Yuan).

However, due to the lack of fully ordained members of the lineage after that date, persons from other clerical elite families of Sakya origins were appointed.

The administrator (dpon-chen or ponchen) in Central Tibet, Aglen, took the initiative for summoning a council in Sakya where the leading clerics agreed to send a petition to Drakpa Odzer.

Drakpa Odzer consented, possibly out of political necessity, and forwarded the petition to the emperor Temür who approved it.
