-The [[Drikung Kagyu]] lineage (’bri gung) was established by [[Drikung Kyobpa Jigten Sumgon]] ([[’bri gung skyob pa ’jig rten gsum mgon]], 1143-1217). Their main seat is the monastery of [[Drikung Thil]] (’bri gung thil) in Central Tibet. Within the Drikung Kagyu lineage, existed a sub-sect known as the [[Lhapa Kagyu]] (lha pa). This lineage was established by a direct disciple of Jigten Sumgön, by name of [[Gyalwa Lhanangpa]] ([[rgyal ba lha nang pa]], 1164-1224). Two masters head the Drikung Kagyu school, the [[Drikung Chetsang]] ([['bri gung che tshang]]) and [[Drikung Chungtsang]] ([['bri gung chung tshang]]) Rinpoches. Both bear the title [[Drikung Kyabgön]] ([['bri gung skyabs mgon]]). The present Drikung Chetsang Rinpoche has established his seat in exile in Dehra Dun/India, while the Drikung Chungtsang Rinpoche remains in Tibet.
