Kagyud Tradition. One of the four Tibetan Buddhist traditions holding the commissioned lineage of Buddha Vajradhara. In Tibet, this transmission was divided into two schools, the Shangpa Kagyud started by Mahasiddha Kyungpo Nyaljor (978-1079) and the Dakpo Kagyud by Lhodrak Marpa (1012-1099). The Dakpo Kagyud tradition was further divided into four sub-schools known as the four major schools of the Kagyud tradition (see {bka brgyud che bzhi}) and its sub-school. Phagdu Kagyud developed into eight sub-schools known as Digung, Taglung, Drugpa, Yasang, Trophu, Shugseb, Yelpa and Martsang.
