Martsang Kagyü

Martsang Kagyü (Wyl. smar thang bka' brgyud) — one of the eight sub-schools of the Pagdru Kagyü established by one of Phagmodrupa Dorje Gyalpo's main disciples, Rinchen Lodrö aka Chöjé Marpa, or Marpa Drubthob Sherab Sengé (Wyl. smar pa sgrub thob shes rab seng ge). This master also established Shogon Monastery in Kham. This Martsang Kagyü lineage no longer exists independently today, but was partly incorporated to Palyul Monastery during the seventeenth century.
