Yelpa Kagyu (T. yel pa bka' brgyud ཡེལ་པ་བཀའ་བརྒྱུད།). One of the eight minor schools of the Dakpo Kagyu, established by Yelpa Yeshe Tsek, a disciple of Pakmodrupa.
Yeshe Tsek established multiple monasteries, chief among them being Shar Yelpuk in 1171, which served as the seat of the tradition. A characteristic of the Yelpa Kagyu is the inclusion of the Gesar of Ling and Huṃkāra traditions.[1]
