Martsang Kagyü (Tib. སྨར་ཚང་བཀའ་བརྒྱུད་, Wyl. smar tshang bka' brgyud) — one of the eight sub-schools of the Pagdru Kagyü established by one of Phagmodrupa Dorje Gyalpo's main disciples, Rinchen Lodrö aka Chöjé Marpa, or Marpa Drubthob Sherab Sengé (Tib. སྨར་པ་སྒྲུབ་ཐོབ་ཤེས་རབ་སེང་གེ་, Wyl. smar pa sgrub thob shes rab seng ge). This master also established Shogon Monastery in Kham. This Martsang Kagyü lineage no longer exists independently today, but was partly incorporated to Palyul Monastery during the seventeenth century.[1]
