The [[Drukpa]] lineage ([[’brug pa]]) was established by [[Tsangpa Gyare Yeshe Dorje]] ([[gtsang pa rgya ras ye shes rdo rje]]), (1161-1211), the spiritual son of [[Lingchen Repa]] who was the founder of [[Lingre Kagyu]] Two of its most famous masters were the yogi [[Drukpa Kunleg]] ([[’brug pa kun legs]]), (1455-1529), a disciple of the [[2nd Gyalwang Drukpa]] [[Kunga Paljor]] ([[rgyal dbang ’brug chen kun dga’ dpal ’byor]]), (1428-1476), and the [[4th Gyalwang Drukpa]] [[Pema Karpo]] ([[kun mkhyen pad ma dkar po]]), (1527-1592), an exceptional scholar, realised master and great historian. A number of sub-sects were established within the Drukpa lineage. There are the [[Tö Druk]] ([[stod ‘brug]]), established by [[Götsangpa Gönpo Dorje]] ([[rgod gtsang pa mgon po rdo rje]]), (1189-1258); the [[Bar-Druk]], established by [[Dharma Senge Sangye Ön]] ([[dhar ma seng ge sangs rgya ’on]] 1177-1237); the [[Mä Druk]] (smad 'brug), established by [[Lorepa Wangchuk Tsöndru]] ([[lo ras pa dbang phyug brtson ’grus, 1187-1250]]); the [[Lho-Druk]] established by [[Phajo Drukgom Shigpo]] ([[pha jo ’brug sgom zhig po]], 1184-1251); and several others. Even within these sub-sects further sub-sects came into being, like the [[Barawa]] lineage ([['ba' ra ba]]). One of the two incarnations of the 4th Drukpa Pema Karpo, [[Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal]] ([[zhabs drung ngag dbang rnam rgyal]]), (1594-1651) went to Bhutan and established his lineage there. He was the first to unify Bhutan and became the founder of the Kingdom of Bhutan as we know it today.
