Gyalwang Drukpa

The Gyalwang Drukpa (T. རྒྱལ་དབང་འབྲུག་པ་) is the honorific title of the head of the Drukpa Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism. This lineage of reincarnated masters started from Tsangpa Gyare, the first Gyalwang Drukpa and founder of the school. The fourth Gyalwang Drukpa was Pema Karpo. The 12th Gyalwang Drukpa, Jigme Pema Wangchen, is the current lineage holder.
