The Eighth Chakra Tulku, Ngawang Tenpai Jungne Trinle Chokyi Gyeltsen was, unlike his predecessors, a tantric practitioner said to possess some sort of clairvoyance and mystic power; he was said to have predicted the destruction of Chamdo by fire in the year 1912. He acted as the Political Director of Chamdo while the Tenth Pakpa Lha was too young for the position. The Chakra Tulkus are considered incarnations of Vajrapāṇi.
