Zur lineage; The Zur lineage began with
Zur Shakya Jungne (zur po che shakya ’byung gnas),
Zungchung Sherab Drakpa (zur chung shes rab ’byung gnas), and
Zur Shakya Sengge (zur shakya seng ge).
This lineage was well-known for its practice of Yangdag Heruka, and also established an important lineage of teaching the Sutra, Mayajala, and Citta Sections.
From these masters onward, the Kama teaching spread widely.
The tradition of the Zur clan remained a hub of the Nyingma Kama teachings in Central Tibet.
In eastern Tibet the Kama was preserved at the Katog monastery which was established by the great master Dampa Deshek (dam pa bde gshegs) in the 12th century.
