Taglung Kagyu

A Kagyu school that is not counted among the Four Greater and Eight Lesser Kagyu schools, but developed independently. It was established by the great scholar and accomplished master Khyunpo Naljor (1002-1064), who travelled to India and studied under many masters, predominantly under the two great female Mahasiddhas Niguma and Sukhasiddhi. Khyungpo Naljor hailed from the same family-clan, the clan of Khyungpo, as Jetsun Milarepa.
