Sakya

The Sakya school is one of the four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism. It was founded by Drogmi, a scholar and translator who studied in India for twelve years, and developed during the second period of translation of Buddhist scripture from Sanskrit into Tibetan in the late 11th century. The Sakya tradition was established by the "Five Venerable Supreme Masters" starting with Sachen Kunga Nyingpo, who became known as Sachen or "Great Sakyapa". The school's teachings are based on tantric doctrines inherited from Tibetan translators, including the system of Lamdre "Path and its Fruit" and the cycles of Vajrakilaya, Mahākāla and Guhyasamāja tantras. The leadership of the Sakya School is passed down through a hereditary system between the male members of the Sakya branch of the Khon family.learn more on wikipedia
