"Like a snow lion cub, I have perfected nimbleness in my mother's womb. I have journeyed a long distance to the Southern Cliff and met the Lord of the realized lineage, hearken once more to the teachings of the Hearing Lineage, and practice the teachings in various solitary mountains. Why not be overcome by samadhi?" - Jetsun Milarepa

The Drikung Kagyu Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism
Lineage is often a confusing and seemingly unecessary thing to westerners as they first encounter the Buddha's teaching here in the west. All the four lineages of Tibetan Buddhism are similar yet at higher levels there are stylistic differences in their approach and final views. Ultimately the thing that is most compelling about a lineage is the inspirational qualities of the unbroken stream of transmission from the enlightened masters of the past down to present day teachers actively teaching. The transmission cannot have been broken for the lineage to remain intact. The Drikung Kagyu lineage is a fully intact lineage of Tibetan Buddhsim that is active, strong and flourishing in Tibet, India, and the western world. Check out our official Dikung Kagyu web-site for loads of helpful information such as biographies, teaching schedules, news, events, prayers, ect...
