Other Information

Note on translation work, October 27, 2010:
I'm recently back from manuscript research trip to China and India, found some interesting ones, and one illuminated gser 'phreng account.
Currently working on translating a ms text Karmapa Orgyan Trinley gave to me, it purports to be a record of Karma Pakshi's direct account of his previous lives, so is probably written by an immediate disciple (the author is not declared). It's 40 pages. Ongoing is my translating of Karma Pakshi's autobiography, 135 pages.

The Kagyu school traces its origin to the eleventh-century translator Marpa, who studied in India with Nāropa.

As many as twelve subtraditions grew out from there, the best known being the Karma Kagyu, the Drikung, and the Drukpa.
