The Treasury of Lives

Lama Ngawang Drakpa (bla ma ngag dbang grags pa) was a thirteenth century Sakya lama. The Gyude Kuntu (rgyud sde kun btus) lists him in a lineage of the Dākārnava Tantra, which is depicted in the painting from which the image here is drawn. He received the transmission from Nartangpa Tsultrim Gyeltsen (snar thang pa tshul khrims rgyal mtshan, d.u.), and passed it on to Lama Jangchub Sengge (bla ma byang chub seng ge, d.u.). Otherwise nothing is currently known about his life.
