Ralpacan (), born Tritsuk Detsen () c. 806 CE, the Year of the Dog, was, according to traditional sources, the 41st King of Tibet, ruling from the death of his father, Sadnalegs, in c. 815, until 838 CE. He is referred to as "son of God" in the ''Testament of Ba''. He was the second of five brothers. The eldest, Prince Tsangma ((), took Buddhist vows. The third, Langdarma, who was anti-Buddhist and ruled after the death of Ralpacan, is referred to in the sources as "unfit to reign". The younger two brothers both died young.〔, p. 17〕 Ralpacan is considered very important to the history of Tibetan Buddhism as one of the three Dharma Kings (''chosgyal'') — Songtsän Gampo, Trisong Detsen, and himself — who brought Buddhism to Tibet. Trisong had five wives, all from Tibetan noble families.〔Stein, R. A. (1972) ''Tibetan Civilization'', p. 63. Stanford University Press.

In 810 Emperor Xianzong of Tang wrote asking for the return of three prefectures. In 816 Zhang 'Bro sTag led a raid led to within two days journey from the Uyghur capital at Ordu-Baliq. In 819 he attacked the Chinese town of Yanzhou, in the southern Ordos Desert close to the Great Wall of China,〔Beckwith, Christopher I. ''The Tibetan Empire in Central Asia''. (1987), pp. 165-167.

During the negotiations for a peace treaty in 821 he led a violent attack against the Chinese,〔Vitali, Roberto (1990) ''Early Temples of Central Tibet'', p. 18. Serindia Publications. London.

Tibetans attacked Uyghur territory in 816 and were in turn attacked in 821. After troops were sent towards the Chinese border, Buddhists in both countries sought mediation and the Sino-Tibetan treaty completed in 821/822, which insured peace for more than two decades. Tibet also made peace with the Uyghurs and also, apparently, with the Kingdom of Nanzhao in 822.〔Beckwith, Christopher I. ''The Tibetan Empire in Central Asia''. (1987), pp. 150-151. Princeton University Press.

H. E. Richardson. Royal Asiatic Society (1985), pp. 106-143. ISBN 0-947593-00-4.〕 There was also a pillar with the treaty inscribed on it erected in China and a third was apparently placed at Gugu Meru at the border (which is said by locals to have been stolen by a party of French Tibetologists).〔Shakabpa, Tsepon W.
