One of four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism established by Khon Kunchok Gyalpo and disseminated by the five foremost masters of the Sakya school (see {sa skya gong ma lnga}). The fundamental teaching of Sakya is the paths and fruits cycle of teachings. This tradition has three sub-schools: Sakya, Ngorpa and Tsarpa.
