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, Marpa Drubthob Sherab Sengé. This master also established Sho Monastery (Wyl. sho dgon) in Markham, East Tibet. The Martsang Kagyü lineage no longer exists independently today, but was partly incorporated to Palyul Monastery during the seventeenth century.[1]
