-'''Shamar Rinpoche''' ([[zhwa dmar]]), an important lineage of [[Karma Kagyu]] masters very closely associated with the Karmapas. The masters of the Shamar lineage, and others, are responsible for the continuation of the [[Karma Kagyu]] lineage in the absence and during the minority of the Karmapas. They were in the posession of a red crown, much like the black crown of the Karmapas, hence the name Shamar - Red Hat. Their seat was the monastery of [[Yangpachen]] ([[dpal yangs pa can]]) until it was impounded and converted by the Lhasa government. There is much political controversy around the lineage of zhwa dmar rin po che.<br>

-*[[9th Shamar Trizur]], [[zhwa dmar khri zur gar dbang rgya mtsho]], (b.1735?). For very unclear political reasons he had to 'abdicate' the throne of the Shamar lineage, hence the name [[khri zur]], and went into life-long retreat. Nothing more seems to be known about him but that he became an exceptionally realized master.
-*[[10th Shamar Rinpoche]], [[chos grub rgya mtsho]], also known as [[dkon mchog chos kyi nyi ma]] (1742-1792). Because of the alleged complicity of Chodrub Gyatso in the Nepalese invasion of Tibet, his monastery Yangpachen and the entire property of the Shamar Labrang ([[bla brang]]) were impounded by the Lhasa goverment. The recognition of further reincarnations of Shamar Tulku was prohibited. Therefore there is a large gap in years between the 10th and 11th incarnations. Apparently incarnations did appear, but were not officially recognized and lived out there lives in seclusion.<br>
