	Shangpa Kagyu - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The Shangpa Kagyu is a relatively obscure sub-sect of the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism.
		The Shangpa Kagyu is counted among the Kagyu schools because of its connection to Naropa, one of the lineage holders of all Kagyu schools, and because of the many practices it holds in common with them.
		Unique to the Shangpa Kagyu tradition is a body of tantric practices called the "Six Yogas of Niguma," which are very similar to the "Six Yogas of Naropa" practiced by all other Kagyu schools.

	E-sangha, Buddhist Forum and Buddhism Forum -> Chakrasamvara
		Both Drikung and Karma Kagyu lineages spring from Gampopa...so it is appropriate to call both lineages part of the "Dakpo Kagyu," after Gampopa's place of residence.
		In fact, all the Kagyu lineages, except for the Shangpa Kagyu, are Dakpo Kagyu.
		It's my feeling that the current Kagyu lineages all have Samvara practices, and that they are all likely influenced by many streams from India....though Ghantapa's system is likely paramount for all Kagyu lineages, I think there are various influences from the other Samvara traditions, and even from subsequent great masters from within the lineages.
