Powo
Along with Dakpo, Kongpo and Béyul Pémakö, Powo is one of the four main regions comprising the south-eastern part of the Tibetan plateau.
Until the early twentieth century, Powo was a virtually independent kingdom, due to its ancestral connection to the Purgyal dynasty that ruled Imperial Tibet. Trülku Jampa Norbu (19th-20th), the father of Düdjom Jigdrel Yéshé Dorjé (1904-1987), was a son of Trépo Sangngak (aka Dawa Gyalpo, 19th-19th) the 24th Kanam Depa, a ruler of Powo.

Since the early 8th century, Tibetans and Himalayan people have treasured "Namtars" as written or spoken narratives that demonstrate the realization of the Buddhist path by exceptional practitioners. These namtars, or spiritual biographies, serve as inspirational guides on the path to enlightenment.
Today, Namtars Foundation aims to record, preserve, and freely offer the world a written and electronic treasury of the oral wisdom of Tibetan and Himalayan Buddhism.
