The
Segyu Lineage
The Segyu
lineage of the Gelug School of Tibetan Buddhism represents
an unbroken line of Tantric teachings (Vajrayana) descending
directly from Lama Je Tsongkhapa. The lineage takes its name
from Sed-Gyued Gaden Phodrang, the first Gelug Tantric
monastery, founded in 1432 by Jetsun Sherab Sengye, one of
the eight principal and direct disciples of Lama Je
Tsongkhapa.
Jetsun Sherab
Sengye founded the monastery in the Sed District of the
Tsang region of Tibet according to specific instructions
from Lama Je Tsongkhapa and with the help of his own
disciple Dulnagpa Palden Zangpo. Known as Sed-Gyued Datsang,
the monastery served as the fountainhead of the
Gelugpas’ Great Secret Tantric monasteries, popularly
called Gy¸-mey and Gy¸-tˆ Tantric Colleges of
Central Tibet.
Sed-Gyued
Datsang was a remarkable center of Tantric learning, which
produced many great masters over the centuries, including
the abbot Gyudchen Dorje Zangpo, a previous incarnation of
Venerable Segyu Choepel Rinpoche.
Visit
the Monastery Project web site to learn about an accelearted
building project to contruct a new monastery for the Segyu
monks in Kathmandu, Nepal. The Monastery Project will bring

dream to create a new home for the teachings of the
Sed-Gyued lineage to flourish. www.themonasteryproject.org
