Yeshe Tsogyal

Yeshe Tsogyal (tibetansk: ཡེ་ཤེས་མཚོ་རྒྱལ, wylie: ye shes mtsho rgya, tradisjonell kinesisk: 益西措杰, pinyin: Yìxī Cuòjié, født i Kharcen, Tibet i 757, død 817), også kjent «fru Kharchen» og «visdomsoseanet» på sanskrit (Jñānasāgara, devanāgarī: ज्ञानसागर)  var en tibetansk prinsesse. Det tibetanske navnet betyr «det seirende visdomshavet» eller «visdomssjøens dronning».

Ifølge tibetansk buddhisme var hun den som avslørte en terma, en «skjult skatt» eller hemmelig lære, for Padmasambhava som innførte buddhismen i Tibet. Hun var også hovedskribenten for denne terma. I Nyingma regnes hun som den som utførte karmamudrā sammen med Padmasambhava og kalles «mor til tibetansk buddhisme».
