Dusum Khyenpa (1110–1193] “At thirty, [i.e. in 1140 - tmc] went to Daklha Gampo — Gampopa's monastery — to receive teachings from him. Although this was a historic meeting of two great Buddhist bodhisattvas emanating on Earth with a profound purpose, Gampopa nevertheless first made Dusum Khyenpa train formally in the foundation practices of the Kadampa tradition and, following that, in the general philosophy of the sutras.” - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Düsum_Khyenpa,_1st_Karmapa_Lama

“During one of the periods Dusum Khyenpa was staying at Daklha Gampo, Gampopa distributed cloth to his three close disciples from Kham— Seltong Shogom, Phagmodrupa and Dusum Khyenpa, known among Gampopa’s disciples as the Three Men from Kham. - http://www.karmapa900.org/karmapa_1st_bio.html
