In Tibetan Buddhism and Bon, a ngakpa (male), or a ngakma (female) (; Sanskrit mantrī) is any practitioner of Vajrayana who is not a monk or a nun. The terms translates to "man or woman of mantra" or "man or woman of secret mantra". They are often referred to as "householder yogis" or "yoginis" because they maintain a householder lifestyle while engaging in advanced tantric practices.
