Heart son of [[Milarepa]] and patriarch of the [[Kagyu]] lineage. The so-called „moon-like“ disciple of [[Milarepa]]. He met Milarepa at the age of eleven and spent many years studying and practising under the guidance of his master. He was a [[Repa]] ([[ras pa]]) like Milarepa, unlike [[Gampopa]], who was a fully ordained monk. At one time he even was married to a local princess for a while, before taking to the homeless life of a wandering yogin again. Rechungpa travelled to India three times and obtained teachings and transmissions which [[Marpa]] had not managed to receive in his time. In fact he was prophecied by [[Naropa]] to Marpa. In particular he received the entire “nine-fold cycle of the formless Dakinis”, the [[lus med mkha' 'gro skor dgu]], of which Marpa had received only five parts. Upon Rechungpa's return to Tibet, he presented these teachings to Milarepa. Milarepa transmitted the entire cylce to [[Ngendzong Repa]] ([[ngan dzong ras pa byang chub rgyal po]] 12th cent.), another of his "Eight Great Sons", who composed arrangements and commentaries on it. His lineage became known as the [[bde mchog snyan brgyud]]. Rechungpa's lineage of this cycle, focussing on the practice of [[Chakrasamvara]], is preserved in a corpus of teachings known as the “hearing lineage of Rechungpa”, the [[ras chung snyan brgyud]], which nowadays is practiced mainly within the [[Drukpa Kagyu]] ([['brug pa bka' brgyud]]) school, and by a subsect of the [[Karma Kagyu]], the [[Surmang Kagyu]]. Both streams were later re-united by Tsang Nyon Heruka ([[gtsang smyon he ru ka]] 1452-1507). Rechungpa’s main teacher in India were the [[Mahasiddha]]s [[Tiphupa]] and [[Walacandra]].
