The Yangti Nakpo (Wyl. yang ti nag po), the Black Quintessence, or, to give its full title, The Single Golden Letter of the Black Quintessence (yang ti nag po gser gyi 'bru gcig), is a cycle of Dzogchen teachings that includes practices focusing on dark retreat. It was brought to Tibet by Guru Rinpoche and hidden as a terma by Yeshé Tsogyal. It was discovered by Dungtso Repa 'the later' (dung mtsho ras pa phyi ba) in the fifteenth century and rediscovered in the nineteenth century by Trulshik Dongak Lingpa. Therefore there are two lineages for the Yangti Nakpo: the long lineage transmission (ring gyu) from Dungtso Repa and the short lineage (nyegyü) through Trulshik Dongak Lingpa.
