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 possession), nor do I have the dates for most of them. Also, there seems to be a large gap between Taranatha and Jamgon Kongtrul. According to Ven. Tenga Rinpoche, the Shangpa linieage was continued throuh a number of Lamas. The various streams of Shangpa trasmissions were all received by Kongtrul Lodro Thaye and then passed on by him. I do hope that people more familiar with the Shangpa Kagyu school than I will correct and expand upon my scribblings soon:

My collection of texts then contains a short text with the very short biographies of the following masters. It's not quite clear to me whether the "Shangton" and "Dorje Zhonnu" mentioned here are the same ones as the above mentioned "Shangtonpa" and "Zhonnu Drub" or not. Apparently the lineage then continued through various streams. One school that continued the Shangpa teachings was the Jonang tradition (TSD).
