The [[Sakya]] tradition is closely associated with the ancient Tibetan [[Khon lineage]], that according to tradition originated from celestial beings. The lineage has descended until the present day. [[Khon Konchok Gyelpo]] (1034-1102) is considered the founder of the Sakya tradition.
 
The origins of the specific [[Sakya]] doctrines are from the Indian yogi [[Virupa]] that transmitted teachings to [[Gayadhara]], that in turn has a Tibetan disciple by the name of [[Drogmi Shakya Yeshe]]. Drogmi travelled to India and receive many teachings and empowerments, including the so called [[Lamdre]] transmission that originated from [[Virupa]].
 
[[Drogmi Shakya Yeshe|Drogmi]] had a disciple by the name of [[Khon Konchok Gyelpo]] that built a monastery in the Tsang providence of central Tibet, and called it [[Sakya]] which means 'grey earth' in Tibetan.
 
The [[Sakya]] tradition was established by the [[Five Superiors of the Sakya Tradition]]: [[Sachen Kunga Nyingpo]], [[Sonam Tsemo ]], [[Jetsun Drakpa Gyeltsen]], [[Sakya Pandita Kunga Gyeltsen]] and [[Drogon Chogyal Phagpa]].
 
The current head of the [[Sakya]] tradition is [[Sakya Trizin|His Holiness Sakya Trizin]].
