history

With Marpa, whose incarnation is Tai Situ, Kagyu comes from India to Tibet. That is why one speaks of Marpa Kagyu in the Tibetan texts. The incarnation line of the Tai Situpas is closely connected with that of the Gyalwa Karmapas , who are the highest lamas of the Karma Kagyu. Like the Shamarpas and the Tshurphu Gyeltshab Rinpoches, the Tai Situpas also wear a red hat or a red Vajra crown as a sign of their dignity and as a symbol of the inseparability of the minds of the Karmapas and the Tai Situpas. The 1st Tai Situpa was a disciple of the 5th Karmapa Deshin Shegpa , who appointed him abbot of Karma Gön . He received the title Kenting Naya Tang Nyontse Geshetse Tai Situpa, in short: Kuang Ting Tai Situ (also: Khentin Tai Situ; pinyin : Guangding Dai Situ;廣 定 大 司徒) from the Chinese emperor of the Ming dynasty Yung Lo . The 8th Tai Situpa Chökyi Chungne in particular was known for his high level of learning; he wrote in the 18th century a. a. a comprehensive commentary on the grammar of the Tibetan language (mkhas pa'i mgul rgyan), which is still studied today. In 1717 the 8th Tai Situpa founded the Pelpung Monastery (Tib .: dpal spung dgon pa ) in Derge , Kham . The 9th Tai Situpa was one of the root teachers of the Kongtrül Lodrö Thaye , the Khyentse Wangpo Rinpoche and the Chogling Rinpoche, as well as a co-founder of the Rime movement. The 11th Tai Situpa founded an institute for Buddhist textual studies in Pelpung in the middle of the twentieth century . The 12th Tai Situpa Pema Dönyö Nyinche and the 12th Tshurphu Gyeltshab Rinpoche enthroned Orgyen Thrinle Dorje as the 17th Gyelwa Karmapa.
