See [[Dakpo Kagyu]]
The [[Drugpa Kagyu]] lineage (’brug pa) was established by [[Lingje Repa Pema Dorje]] (gling rje ras pa padma rdo rje, 1128-1188) and [[Tsangpa Gyare Yeshe Dorje]] (gtsang pa rgya ras ye shes rdo rje, 1161-1211). Two of its most famous masters were the yogi [[Drugpa Kunleg]] (’brug pa kun legs, 1455-1529), a disciple of the [[2nd Drugchen Kunga Paljor]] (rgyal dbang ’brug chen kun dga’ dpal ’byor, 1428-1476), and the [[4th Drugchen Pema Karpo]] (kun mkhyen pad ma dkar po, 1527-1592), an exceptional scholar, realised master and great historian. As with some of the other Kagyu schools, a number of sub-sects were established within the Drugpa Kagyu lineage. There are the [[Tö Drug]] (stod ‘brug), established by Götsangpa Gönpo Dorje (rgod gtsang pa mgon po rdo rje, 1189-1258); the [[Mä Drug]] (smad ‘brug), established by [[Lorepa Wangchuk Tsöndru]] (lo ras pa dbang phyug brtson ’grus, 1187-1250); and several others. Even within these sub-sects further sub-sects came into being, like the [[Barawa Kagyu]] lineage ('ba' ra ba). One of the two incarnations of the 4th Drugchen 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.
