Lower Drukpa
- "The Medruk (smad 'brug) or Lower Drukpa Kagyu sub-school was founded by Tsangpa Gyare's disciple Gyalwa Lorepa Wangchuk Tsondru (lo ras dbang phyug brtson 'grus) [1187-1250] who lived a simple life. Lorepa built the Üri (dbu ri) and Sengeri (seng ge ri) monasteries and visited Bhutan where he founded Tharpaling (thar pa gling) monastery in Bumthang. A special transmission of the Lower Drukpa Lineage is known as the The Five Capabilities (thub pa lnga)"[1]
