The [[Kamtshang]] (kam tshang) or [[Karma Kagyü]] 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 Kagyü lineage are [[Lho Karma Gön]] (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 Kagyü lineage is the [[17th Karmapa]] Orgyen Thrinle Dorje (o rgyan phrin las rdo rje, b. 1985). Other important masters of the Karma Kagyü 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 [[Jamgön]] (’jam mgon) Rinpoches was added. There are two further lineages within the Karma Kagyü, the [[Surmang Kagyü]] (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 Kagyü]] (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).
