bka' brgyud;Kagyu;kagyu;The teachings received from the dharmakaya buddha Vajradhara by the Indian siddha Tilopa, Saraha, and others. Transmitted by Naropa and Maitripa to the Tibetan translator Marpa, the lineage was gradually passed on to Milarepa, Gampopa, Karmapa, and others. The main emphasis is on the path of means, which is the Six Yogas of Naropa, and the path of liberation, which is the mahamudra instructions of Maitripa. In addition to these teachings, Gampopa also received the Kadampa teachings on mind training brought to Tibet by Lord Atisha, which he fused into one system now renowned as the Dakpo Kagyu. It is from the chief disciples of Lord Gampopa that the four great and eight lesser lineages trace their sources.
