During the time of Zhong Namka Shenge The Kathok Tradition started the practices of the termas of Ratna Lingpa.

During the time of Duddul
Longsar Nyingpo, the Kathok Tradition greatly propagated the Northern Tradition of the termas of Karma Lingpa's 100 Peaceful and Wrathful Bardo Deities, The Guru's collection, as well as 9 other different profound practices.

During the time of Xi Du Qiu Ji Xing Gei
As a disciple of the lineage master Jigme Lingpa, he incorporated the Longchen Nyingthig Teachings into Kathok.

There have been a total of 13 great texts, comprising of both the karma and terma lineages, from the time of Tampa Deshek. These 13 texts are the main practices. Together with the source for the attainment of the rainbow body in the Kathok Tradition through the centuries, they are collectively known as the Profoundly Unique 13 Great Teachings:

These 13 great teachings are : 1 The Great Master, Zhang Dong Jie Master The Rosary of Pith-Instructions for Attainments 2 Namka Dojre Essential Heart Commentary 3 Misho Sangje Dojre Essential Heart-drop of the Guru 4 Yeshe Gyaltsen The Ocean of Oral-instructions of Mahamudra 5 Gongde "Chod" Great Commentary 6 Tashi Renchen The Mirror of Profoundity and Wisdom - Commentary of Dzogchen 7 Gushali Sonam Dromjo The Essence of Inconceivable Meaning - Commentary of Dzogchen 8 Hopo Chadral Jia Gyaltsen The Commentary on the Direct Path to Realisation 9 Padma Made The Teachings on Bardo of the 6 Realms 10 Renchen Chewang Norbu The precious collections of 11 Padma Made The Deep Path - The Clear Meaning 12 Duddul Dorje The Teachings of Dzogchen - Samantabhadra's rainbow body 13 Longsar Nyingpo Jawad Dosel (Phowa)

In recent years, a great accomplished master, by the name of Gei Ze Jiu Mei Dang Ba Nan Jie, aggregated the essence of the above 13 great texts into a compound volume known as "The Precious Mirror – The Door of Skilful Teachings". This precious volume becomes an extremely important text as a guide and source of reliance for practitioners.

With the progress of time, many practitioners of Kathok left the monastery to establish their own traditions.

There are over 1,000 monks.
