Martsang Kagyü
Martsang Kagyü (Tib. སྨར་ཚང་བཀའ་བརྒྱུད་, Wyl. smar tshang bka' brgyud) — one of the eight sub-schools of the Pagdru Kagyü established by one of Phagmodrupa Dorje Gyalpo's main disciples, Marpa Drubthob Sherab Sengé[1]. This master also established Shogon Monastery in Kham. The Martsang Kagyü lineage no longer exists independently today, but was partly incorporated to Palyul Monastery during the seventeenth century.[2]
