Shugseb Kagyu

Shugseb Kagyü (T. shug gseb bka' brgyud ཤུག་གསེབ་བཀའ་བརྒྱུད་). One of the eight minor schools of the Dakpo Kagyu, founded by Gyergom Tsultrim Sengge (1144-1204), a student of Pakmodrupa Dorje Gyelpo. The Shugseb lineage is named after Shugseb Monastery, which Gyergom founded in 1181. Its teachings were based on the doha cycles trasmitted to Tibet that originated with Indian masters including Tilopa and Naropa.
