A Kagyu school that is not counted among the Four Greater and Eight Lesser Kagyu schools, but developed independently. It was established by the great scholar and accomplished master Khyungpo Naljor (1002-1064), who travelled to India and studied under many masters, predominantly under the two great female Mahasiddhas Niguma and Sukhasiddhi. Khyungpo Naljor hailed from the same family-clan, the clan of Khyungpo, as Jetsun Milarepa.

The lineage succession, as far as I (TSD) could piece together, is as follows. I do not know whether or not the order of masters as they appear is correct (it just reflects the order of a number of short biographies of Shangpa masters in my posession), nor do I know any dates for them. Also, there seems to be a large gap between Taranatha and Jamgon Kongtrul. I do hope that people more familiar with the Shangpa Kagyu school than I will correct and expand upon my scribblings soon:
