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. The Dakpo Kagyu developed into the so-called four greater and eight smaller Kagyu schools. The "four greater" lineages were established by direct disciples of Je Gampopa and his nephew and dharma heir Dakpo Gomtsul Tsultrim Nyingpo (1116-1169), while the "eight smaller" ones were founded by students of Phagmo Drupa Dorje Gyalpo (1110-1170), one of the four main students of Gampopa.
A second tradition of Kagyu teachings was brought to Tibet by Khyungpo Naljor. This lineage is referred to as the Shangpa Kagyu.
