H.H. Phakchok Rinpoche

As a beginning, here is the history of Kyabje Phakchok Rinpoche's seat, the Taklung Martang Monastery, and next the account of its succession of throne-holders.
For the first, in Tibet, the Cool Land of the Snowy Ranges, the teachings of the Buddha arrived during two periods known as the Early and Later Translations. Among these, the latter, the New Schools of the Later Translations, the well-known Kagyupa, the protectors of beings, were possessed the mandate for its Practice Lineage. It was the great master by the name Tilopa who received four such transmissions, from Vajradhara and Vajra Yogini, who appeared to him in person to entrust him with the treasury of the four sections of tantra.
The next in line was Naropa, the great pandita, who followed Tilopa by undertaking twelve major trials at the end of which he understood the complete meaning, simply through a gesture and a few words, and reached accomplishment.

Marpa Chokyi Lodro of Lhodrak went to India four times where he met many learned and accomplished masters, headed by Naropa and Maitripa from whom he received all the teachings on Sutra and Tantra. In particular, he followed Naropa for a combined length of sixteen years and under his guidance Marpa integrated his learning, reflection and meditation training. He received the special Hearing Lineage of Chakrasamvara with consort in completeness.
Back in Tibet, Marpa had four chief disciples who propagated his profound teachings. The three for the Teaching Lineage were Mey, Ngog and Tsur, while its became Jetsun Milarepa who received the mandate for the Practice Lineage.

Among Milarepa's disciples there were seven who departed to celestial realms at the end of their life, eight who became great repa-yogis, as well as innumerable others. Of his two chief disciples, one was the moon-like Rechung Dorje Drakpa from whom the Rechung Kagyu lineage sprung. The other was the sun-like Dakpo Dawo Zhonno who is also known as the great matchless Gampopa, extolled in prophecies by the Victorious One, and who was equal to Buddha coming back into the world.
Gampopa had an untold number of disciple which he brought to maturity and liberation, but his principal lineage-holders were Barom Darma Wangchuk who originated the Barom Kagyu; Pagdru Dorje Gyalpo who began the Pagdru Kagyu; the illustrious Dusum Khyenpa who founded the Karma Kagyu; the disciple of Öngom Tsultrim Nyingpo by the name Zhang Tsalpa Tsondru Drakpa who founded Tsalpa Kagyu.
