Kagyu Vajrakilaya
Did any of the Kagyu Lineage masters practice Vajrakilaya? I follow Drikung, so anyone between Tilopa and Phagmodrupa? Jigten Sumgon?
Re: Kagyu Vajrakilaya
Jigten Sumgon's great grandmother practiced Vajrakilaya.
Don't know if she transmitted it

Re: Kagyu Vajrakilaya
The early "Kagyu" masters, by which I think you mean Tilo, Naro, Marpa, Mila, Gampopa focused on Sarma yidams. Jigten Sumgon, however, was taught Kilaya practice by his uncle, as a young man.ZopaChotso wrote: ↑Wed Dec 07, 2022 4:50 am Did any of the Kagyu Lineage masters practice Vajrakilaya?

These days Kilaya practice is part of pretty much every Kagyupa's training.
