Barom-Kagyu

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Barom Kagyü School ( Tib . : 'ba' rom bka 'brgyud ; also: Bagyü for short ) is one of the four larger schools of the Kagyü school tradition of Tibetan Buddhism . The Barom Kagyü School was founded by Barompa Darma Wangchug (Tib .: 'ba rom pa dar ma dbang phyug ; 1127–1199 / 1200), one of the four most important students of Gampopa in the 12th century. The highly practice-oriented school was settled in the Tibetan region of Kham in the 12th and 13th centuries by the students and masters who followed him . The core transmission of this tradition is the teaching of Mahamudra . This lineage has been held by the Bagyod lamas since the 17th century. The current lineage holder of this tradition is the 8th Bagyod Rinpoche.
