Khenpo Lodro Drakpa (1920-1975) was one of the most influential and prolific modern Jonang masters. Born in the Bukhangda district of Amdo , Khenpo Lodrak was the son of the nomads Tsewang Pal and Gyalza Gurlo. At the age of 9, he began to learn the Kalachakra system at Darnga Mountain Retreat (ri khrod) in Dzamthang under the guidance of Dzam-ngos Dorje Chang Kunga Ngawang. Then, when he was 18 years old, he began to study the works of [[Bamda Thubten Gelek Gyatso]] at Rashug Mountain Retreat under Bamda's direct disciple Tshognyi Gyatso.

At the age of 21, he took up residence at Dzamthang Tsangwa Monastery. Studying primarily with Rabka Lama Lozang Tsultrim, he was immediately recognized for his scholastic talents. Later in his life he was known as a "second [[Mipham]]," praised for his intellectual similarities parallel to the famous Nyingma master from Kham, Mipham Gyatso. Within the Jonang, he was also regarded as an incarnation of Dolpopa.
