Kagyu School (bka' brgyud)


This tradition was introduced to Tibet by the great Lotsawa Marpa and his student Milarepa. Milarepa's student Gampopa later fused the teachings of Marpa with teachings he had received in the Kadam lineage of Atisha. The lineages stemming from Gampopa came to be known as the Dakpo Kagyu.

A second tradition of Kagyu teachings was brought to Tibet by Khyungpo Naljor. This lineage is referred to as the Shangpa Kagyu.
