Dakpo Kagyü
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

Dakpo Kagyü (Tib. དྭགས་པོ་བཀའ་བརྒྱུད་, Wyl. dwags po bka' brgyud) — one of the Kagyü schools founded by Milarepa's main disciple, Gampopa, aka Dakpo Lharjé (1079-1173). He brought together the Drupgyü lineage of teachings as he received them from Milarepa and the Kadampa lineage, thus founding the Dakpo Kagyü school which bares his name. This school was later subdivided into four sub-schools by his four main disciples (see Kagyü).
