The Ra tradition ( rwa lugs ) is a mantrayana school tradition of Tibetan Buddhism that originates from Dorje Drag, the translator (Lotsawa) from Ra ( rwa lo tsā ba rdo rje grags ; 1016-1128 (?)) .

Ra Lotsawa was a famous translator of the Later Propagation Period , whose name is particularly associated with Vajrabhairava . The translator Ra Chörab ( rwa chos rab ) was his nephew.

Together with the Dro tradition ('bro lugs) it forms one of the two Kalachakra lines of transmission that still exist today .

The tradition was described by Butön (bu ston; 1290-1364), Khedrub Je (mkhas grub rje; 1385-1438) and also Gö Shönnu Pel ('gos gzon nu dpal; 1392-1481).
