'''Shamar Rinpoche''', an important lineage of [[Karma Kagyu]] masters very closely associated with the Karmapas. The masters of the Shamar lineage, and others, are responsible for the continuation of the [[Karma Kagyu]] lineage in the absence and during the minority of the Karmapas. They were in the posession of a red crown, much like the black crown of the Karmapas, hence the name Shamar - Red Hat. Their seat was the monastery of [[Yangpachen]] ([[dpal yangs pa can]]) until it was impounded and converted by the Lhasa government. There is much political controversy around the lineage of zhwa dmar rin po che.<br>

*A. [[bkra shis grags pa]] (d.1282) Even though he is counted among the lineage of the Shamar, it is only the next one that was officially named as the '1st' Shamar Rinpoche<br>
See details under: [[Longchen Nyingthig]]
*[[1st Shamar Rinpoche]], [[grags pa seng ge]] (1283-1349)<br>
*[[2nd Shamar Rinpoche]], [[mkha' spyod dbang po]] (1350-1405)<br>
*[[3rd Shamar Rinpoche]], [[chos dpal ye shes]] (1406-1452)<br>
*[[4th Shamar Rinpoche]], [[chos grags ye shes]] (1453-1524)<br>
*[[5th Shamar Rinpoche]], [[dkon mchog yan lag]], (1525-1583)<br>
*[[6th Shamar Rinpoche]], [[gar dbang chos kyi dbang phyug]] (1584-1630)<br>
*[[7th Shamar Rinpoche]], [[ye shes snyin po]] (1631-1694)<br>
*[[8th Shamar Rinpoche]], [[dpal chen chos kyi don grub]] (1695-1732)<br>
*[[9th Shamar Rinpoche]], [[dkon mchog dge ba'i 'byung gnas]], (1733?-1741)<br>
*[[9th Shamar Trizur]], [[zhwa dmar khri zur gar dbang rgya mtsho]], (b.1735?). For very unclear political reasons he had to 'abdicate' the throne of the Shamar lineage, hence the name [[khri zur]], and went into life-long retreat. Nothing more seems to be known about him but that he became an exceptionally realized master.
*[[10th Shamar Rinpoche]], [[chos grub rgya mtsho]], also known as [[dkon mchog chos kyi nyi ma]] (1742-1792). Because of the alleged complicity of Chodrub Gyatso in the Nepalese invasion of Tibet, his monastery Yangpachen and the entire property of the Shamar Labrang ([[bla brang]]) were impounded by the Lhasa goverment. The recognition of further reincarnations of Shamar Tulku was prohibited. Therefore there is a large gap in years between the 10th and 11th incarnations. Apparently incarnations did appear, but were not officially recognized and lived out there lives in seclusion.<br>
*[[11th Shamar Rinpoche]], [['jam dbyangs rin po che]] (d.1947?)<br>
*[[12th Shamar Rinpoche]], an infant who was never named, (b.1948?)<br>
*[[13th Shamar Rinpoche]], [[mi pham smra ba'i go cha]], (b.1952)<br><br>
