The term "ngakphang" is a gender neutral word to cover ngakpa & ngakmo, though this may be of relatively recent construction. Historically, Ngagpa may marry, have children and work in the world, though they are required to devote significant time to retreat and practice and in enacting rituals when requested by, or on behalf of, members of the community. Van Schaik (2004) ties Ngagpa to "Mantrin", that is, one who practices Mantra in a book dedicated to the Longchen Nyingtig of Jigme Lingpa:

  • The term "ngakphang" is a gender neutral word to cover ngakpa & ngakmo, though this may be of relatively recent construction. Historically, Ngagpa may marry, have children and work in the world, though they are required to devote significant time to retreat and practice and in enacting rituals when requested by, or on behalf of, members of the community. While Ngagpas may perform many different rituals and energetic workings, many are rites of passage, they are particularly known for performing birth rituals, weddings, funerals, divinations, and pacification of ghosts or nature spirits and exorcisms. Typically, Ngagpas live with their families in villages, but many Ngagpas also congregate in Bönpos, the Ngagpa equivalent of a monastery. Some Ngagpa are comparable in practice to the Mahasidda, indeed, the Mahasidda may be correctly referred to as Ngagpa. Van Schaik (2004) ties Ngagpa to "Mantrin", that is, one who practices Mantra in a book dedicated to the Longchen Nyingtig of Jigme Lingpa: The lay tantric practitioner (sngags pa, Skt. Māntrin) became a common figure in Tibet, and would remain so throughout the history of Tibetan Buddhism. According to history, the father of Gendun Gyatso, the second Dalai Lama, Kunga Gyaltsen was a non-monastic ngakpa (married tantric practitioner) of the Nyingma lineage, a famous Nyingma tantric master. His mother was Machik Kunga Pemo, they were a farming family. Their lineage transmission was by birth.
