- Many transmission lineages for Vajrakila exist. Most of the major gter ston had a Vajrakila [gter ma]], sometimes even several. Chokgyur Lingpa (1829-1870) for instance had three: zab bdun phur pa, gsang thig phur pa and lung lugs phur pa. Other important Vajrakila teachings practised these days are the cycles of Ratna Lingpa (1403-1479), Lerab Lingpa (1856-1926), the various practises of the byang gter tradition of Rigdzin Godem (1337-1408) and the khon phur of the Sakya lineage. There are many more. [TSD]
