Manjushrikirti

Mañjuśrīkīrti; Chinese: 妙吉祥稱; pinyin: Miàojíxiángchēng; Wylie: Jam-dpal Grags-pa, ZYPY: Qambai Chagba) is the 8th King of Shambhala, and a precursor in the lineage of the Panchen Lamas of Tibet.

[1][2] Mañjuśrīkīrti is also the name of an Indian Buddhist scholar who wrote a commentary to the Samādhirāja Sūtra (King of Samādhis Sūtra) called the Kīrtimala (Tibetan: grags pa'i phreng ba) which survives in Tibetan translation.

[5] It is doubtful that these two are the same figure, since the author of the Kīrtimala is strongly influenced by Yogacara vijñanavada, a view rejected by Candrakīrti.

[2][6] Mañjuśrīkīrti is said to have been the Eighth King of Shambhala and is considered to be the second incarnation in the precursors of the lineage of the Panchen Lamas of Tibet.

He is said to have expelled 300,510 followers of heretical doctrine of the Mlechhas or "materialistic barbarians", some of whom worshipped the sun, but after reconsidering,[8] he brought them back and they asked for his teachings.
