| | Tsechen Samdrup Ling / Kyegu Buddhist Institute - Overview of Lamdre by HH Sakya Trizin |
| | Lama Sakyapa was an emanation of both Manjushri and Avalokitesvara, a manifestation of all the Buddha's wisdom and compassion combined. | | | The condition was that after eighteen years, Lama Sakyapa would be free to write the teachings down or give them to his disciples, because by then, he would be the 'owner' of this great teaching. | | | When he gave them to Lama Sakyapa Kunga Nyingpo, he did so with the admonition that he should not disclose even the name of the teaching to anybody for eighteen years. |

| | Although the Sakyapa tradition remains relatively little known in the West and has the smallest number of monasteries and followers, it is still the tradition that preserves the most accurate Tantric procedures for instance in bestowing empowerment according to the Root Tantras. | | | The Sakyapas are also known as Lamdre-pas since all the Sakya Khon Masters held this precious Lamdre teaching (Gsun-nag-lam-bras) as their main practice. | | | In Tibet, the great tradition of studying the five major and five minor sciences, and the grading systems of religious and philosophical education were founded by renowned scholars of the Sakyapa School. |

| | Sakyapa is today the smallest of the four schools of Tibetan Buddhism. | | | The basic practice of mahamudra is "dwelling in peace," and it has thus been called the "Tibetan Zen." Also central to the Kagyupa schools are the Six Doctrines of Naropa (Naro Chödrug), which are meditation techniques that partially coincide with the teachings of the Tibetan Book of the Dead. | | | Gelugpa (or Dge-lugs-pa or Gelukpa, "School of the Virtuous"), also called the Yellow Hats, is the youngest of the Tibetan schools, but is today the largest and the most important. |

| | History |
| | The Sakyapa order of Tibetan Buddhism began with the founding of the Sakya monastery by Konchok Gyalpo in the Tsang district of Southern Tibet in 1073. | | | This active role the Sakyapa order played in consolidating Mongol rule, as well as the compatibility of the Sakyapa’s esoteric beliefs with other sects, helped to speed the growth of Tibetan Buddhism across the area. | | | A portion of the original monastery stands today, although it is a trifling reminder of the strength and expanse of the Sakya influence on Tibet, its religions, and its art. |
