The Shukseb Kagyu, one of the eight sub-branches of the Kagyu tradition, was founded by Gyergom Tsultrim Sengge, a student of Pakmodrupa Dorje Gyelpo. The Shukseb lineage is named after Shukseb Monastery, which Gyergom founded in 1181. Its teachings were based on the do ha cycles trasmitted to Tibet that originated with Indian masters including Tilopa and Naropa.
