The [[Kamtshang]] ([[kam tshang]]) or [[Karma Kagyu]] lineage ([[karma bka' brgyud]]) was established by the [[1st Karmapa]] Düsum Khyenpa ([[dus gsum mkhyen pa]]), (1110-1193). He founded the [[Tsurphu]] ([[mtshur phu]]) monastery in the Tölung ([[stod lung]]) valley, not far from Lhasa. It was to become the main seat of the Karmapas. Other important centers of the Karma Kagyu lineage are [[Lho Karma Gon]] ([[lho karma dgon]]), [[Palpung]] ([[dpal spung]]), [[Surmang]] ([[zur mang]]), [[Benchen]] ([[ban chen]]) and others, all of them in Eastern Tibet. The present head of the Karma Kagyu lineage is the [[17th Karmapa]] Orgyen Thrinle Dorje ([[o rgyan phrin las rdo rje]]), (b. 1985). Other important masters of the Karma Kagyu lineage are the [[Shamar]] ([[zhwa dmar]]), [[Tai Situ]] ([[si tu]]), [[Gyaltsab]] ([[rgyal tshab]]), [[Pawo]] ([[dpa' bo]]) and [[Treho]] ([[tre ho]]) Rinpoches. In the 19th cent., the lineage of the [[Jamgon Kongtrul]] ([['jam mgon kong sprul]]) Rinpoches was added. There are two further lineages within the Karma Kagyu, the [[Surmang Kagyu]] ([[zur mang bka' brgyud]]), established by [[Mase Togden]] ([[rma se rtogs ldan blo gros rin chen]]), a disciple of the [[5th Karmapa]] Deshin Shegpa ([[de bzhin gshegs pa]]), (1384-1415); and the [[Nendo Kagyu]] ([[gnas mdo bka' brgyud]]), established by [[Karma Chagme]] ([[kar ma chags med]]), (1613-1678), a disciple of the [[6th Shamar Rinpoche]] ([[zhwa dmar chos kyi dbang phyug]]), (1584-1630).<br><br>
The [[Phagdru Kagyu]] lineage ([[phag gru]]) was established by [[Phagmo Drupa]] Dorje Gyalpo ([[phag mo grub pa rdo rje rgyal po]]), (1110-1170). His lineage was to be continued by the Lang ([[rlang]]) family. Eventually they became very influential politically. Phagmo Drupa had eight main students who became the founders of the [[Eight lesser Kagyu lineages]].
