Tsadra Library Glossary Search/All Gloss Entries/Luminous Mind/Glossary + (shangs pa bka' brgyud;Shangpa-Kagyu;shangp … shangs pa bka' brgyud;Shangpa-Kagyu;shangpa-kagyu;The Shangpa lineage was established in Tibet by the scholar-adept Khyungpo Neljor (ca. 990-1139). Initially, he studied and practiced the Bön and dzogchen traditions;later he went to India in search of teachings. From there he brought back the quintessence of the instructions of 150 masters, among whom the five most important were: the primordial wisdom ḍākinīs Niguma and Sukhasiddhi, Maitrīpa, Abhayā (or Vajrāsana, Dorje Denpa), and Rāhulaguptavajra. He attained redization of and transmitted the Five Golden Teachings and the Five Ultimates, or the ultimate result of the five principal tantras of anuttarayogatantra through the sādhana of the ''Deities of the Five Tantras (rgyud sde lha lnga)'', which are brought together in one single maṇḍala consisting of Guhyasamāja, Mahāmāya, Hevajra, Cakrasaṃvara, and Vajrabhairava. This practice, which comes from the ''Ocean of Jewels Tantra (rin chen rgya mtsho'i rgyud)'' and which was transmitted to him by the mahāsiddha Vajrāsana, constitutes the basis of the Shangpa initiation system. Khyungpo Neljor established his headquarters at Shang Shong (zhang zhong) in the Shang (shangs) valley of central Tibet, west of the Tsang province. The name "Shangpa" was given to the school that developed after him;he lived to the age of 150. He founded over one hundred monasteries, gave teachings, and performed many miracles. He had innumerable disciples, of whom the main one was Mochopa (rmog lcog pa, c. 1117-?), followed by Kyergangpa (skyer sgang pa, c. late twelfth century, early thirteenth;lived 73 years), Nyentön Rigonpa (gnyan ston ri gong pa, early thirteenth century;lived 72 years), and Sangye Tönpa (sangs rgyas ston pa, thirteenth century;lived 72 years);they constituted, with Vajradhara, Niguma, and Khyungpo Neljor, the first seven masters of the lineage, or the Seven Jewels. The instructions that had until then only been transmitted orally and secretly were spread by Sangye Tönpa. They were put down in writing by his successors: Samdingpa Chöndrup (d. 1319), Japa Gyaltsen Bum ('jag chen rgyal mtshan 'bum, 1261-1334), and Serlingpa Tashipel (1292-1365). He had a disciple, Khedrup Tsangma Shangtön (1234-1309);this lineage is said to be distant, and it has continued without interruption within the Kagyu, Nyingma, Sakya, and Gelug schools. Two other lineages, known as "close" and "very close," stemmed from direct revelations from the primordid wisdom ḍākinī Niguma. Their origins are, respectively, the mahāsiddha Thangtong Gyelpo (thang stong rgyal po, 1361-1485) on the one hand, with the Thangluk lineage following, and, on the other hand, Jonang Kunga Drölcho and Taranatha (Drölwai Gönpo, 1575-1634) followed by the lineage called Jonangluk. These different lineages converged in Jamgön Kongtrul Lodrö Thaye in the nineteenth century. He transmittd them to Tashi Chöpel, who transmitted them to Norbu Töndrup, who in turn transmitted them to Kyabje Kalu Rinpoche, who was the hierarch of this lineage and established its principal seat at Sonada monastery in India, near Darjeeling. The principal teachings transmitted by the Shangpa lineage consist of five cycles:<blockquote>1. From Niguma, particularly the Five Golden Teachings (gser chos sde lnga), which present in a coherent and concise entirety one of the highest and most profound methods for realization; 2. From Sukhasiddhi (six yogas and mahāmudrā); 3. From Maitrīpa (Mahākāla Chadrupa); 4. From Abhayā (deities of the five tantras);and 5. From Rāhula (joint practice of four deities). </blockquote>These teachings constitute the heart of the transmission and practices for the three-year retreat in Shangpa centers.the heart of the transmission and practices for the three-year retreat in Shangpa centers.)
