THE GOLDEN
KAGYU GARLAND
Excerpts
from Additional Records of the Golden Kagyu Lineage (gser-phreng-ka-skhong)
by Topga Yulgyal
The
eleventh Situpa, Pema Wangchog Gyalpo (1886-1953)
was identified and enthroned by the fifteenth Karmapa. His main
gurus were Khakyab Dorje and Jamgon Lodro Thaye. Khakyab Dorje is
regarded as the most prominent because it was he who gave Situpa
the most profound Kagyu teachings, referred to as the ultimate Kagyu
Lineage.
Situpa became a great scholar. He studied with many masters of his
time and taught extensively throughout Tibet. He found and enthroned
the sixteenth Karmapa, Rangjung Rigpei Dorje, and took charge of
his education.
