Trisong Detsen (Tibetan: ཁྲི་སྲོང་ལྡེ་བཙན, Wylie: khri srong lde btsan) was the 38th King (Tsenpo) of Tibet from 755 to 797, succeeding his father Tridé Tsuktsen. He was the second of the "Three Dharma Kings of Tibet" — Songtsen Gampo, Trisong Detsen, Ralpachen — honored for their pivotal roles in the introduction of Buddhism to Tibet and the establishment of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. Sowa Rigpa or Traditional Tibetan medicine was developed during his reign.
