Samlingpa, about whom little is known, founded the Kagyu monastery Samling in the Lower Nyang Valley, Tibet.

Zarawa Kelden Yeshe Sengge was one of the four foremost disciples of Pakmodrupa. Either Zarawa or perhaps his own disciple Chokyi Monlam might be considered the founder of the Yabzang Kagyu lineage. He was the founder, in 1158, of Zara Monastery.
