+Information about Indian Buddhist masters.
-The [[Sakya]] tradition is closely associated with the ancient Tibetan Khon lineage, that according to tradition originated from celestial beings. The lineage has descended until the present day. [[Khon Konchok Gyelpo]] (1034-1102) is considered the founder of the [[Sakya]] tradition.
-The origins of the specific [[Sakya]] doctrines are from the Indian yogi [[Virupa]] that transmitted teachings to [[Gayadhara]], that in turn has a Tibetan disciple by the name of [[Drogmi Shakya Yeshe]]. Drogmi travelled to India and receive many teachings and empowerments, including the so called [[Lamdre]] transmission that originated from [[Virupa]].
-Drogmi had a disciple by the name of [[Khon Konchok Gyelpo]] that built a monastery in the Tsang providence of central Tibet, and called it [[Sakya]] which means 'grey earth' in Tibetan.
