Historical Ngakpa Practitioners
• Many Ngakpas have shown their great abilities by
becoming highly educated people and practitioners.
• An example is the founder of Traditional Tibetan
Medicine (TTM) Yuthok Yonten Gonpo(708-833 A.D). He
was a Ngakpa, as were many of his lineage physicians.
• In the 9th Century, Tri Ralpa Chan(866-?), the 3rd
Tibetan Dharma King, became involved in the Ngakpa
Tradition. Through his dedication and support the
Ngakpa Tradition grew all over Tibet.
