Ringu Tulku Rinpoche writes[2]:
- [The Drikung Kagyü school] was founded by Kyobpa Jikten Sumgön, who was called the One Who Perfected Interdependence. He established Drikung Monastery[3], and he is renowned for having 180,000 students. Most famous of these are the three siddhas Nyö[4], Gar[5], and Chö, as well as Drikung Lingpa[6].
