The translator

Marpha was responsible for transmitting the Mahamudra teachings from India to Tibet. He is therefore the Tibetan founder of the Kagyu lineage, often called Marpha Kagyu in his honor. Since his life's work was translation - both in the narrower sense of language and in the broader sense of bridging Indian and Tibetan cultures - he is known as Marpha Lotsawa: Marpha the Translator.

His clarity of mind and innate wisdom were evident even as a child. He understood everything that his first teacher, Lugyepa, taught him and memorized it immediately.

Over a period of about 15 years he studied Tibetan grammar, poetry and drama and became a master not only of Tibetan but also of Indian languages ​​and dialects.

He found out about Naropa, one of the most famous scholars and masters of meditation living in India, and Marpha decided to go to him. Marpha studied at his feet for 16 years and 7 months.

For about 40 years, half of which he spent traveling in India, he translated the teachings he discovered into Tibetan.
