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]].
