Drukpa Kagyü (Tib. འབྲུག་པ་བཀའ་བརྒྱུད་, Wyl. ‘brug pa bka' brgyud) is one of the subschools of the Kagyü tradition and the dominant religious tradition in Bhutan. The founder of the Drukpa Kagyü lineage is either said to be Lingje Repa Pema Dorje (1128-1188), or his principal disciple, Tsangpa Gyare Yeshe Dorje (1161-1211), the first Drukchen Rinpoche. Among the great masters of this school are the mahasiddha Götsangpa Gönpo Dorje (1189-1258) and the renowned scholar, meditator and historian, known as the omniscient Pema Karpo (1527-92).
The lineage acquired the name Drukpa in the twelfth century when, in 1206, Tsangpa Gyare Yeshe Dorje saw nine dragons fly up into the sky from the ground of Namdruk, and he named his lineage "Drukpa", or "Lineage of the Dragons" after this auspicious event. In this way, Tsangpa Gyare could be said to be the founder of the Drukpa Kagyü lineage.
