Ngawang Gyatso was one of Dudjom Lingpa's first and most valued disciples. Ngawang Gyatso was a nephew of Gili[1] Wangli, of Golok, one of the two major patrons of Dudjom Lingpa (the other patron being Gönten).

According to Dudjom Lingpa himself, 'Ngawang Gyatso—and [Lama] Puntsok Tashi—was “a custodian of his teachings”.[2]

Notes

  1. Dudjom Lingpa is still commonly known as Gili Tertön due to his steadfast connection with that family (source: Appendix of 'A Clear Mirror', Translated by Chönyi Drolma)
