Kagyu Master: Milarepa, Guru Marpha and Gampopa Statue - Set

They are one of the best examples of guru-disciple relationships. Though different from each other, they were both equally devoted to the Dharma.
Marpa was a gruff householder with a large family. Unlike him, Milarepa is an emaciated ascetic who lives alone in caves high in the Himalayas. His skin turned green because of the green nettle leaves that represented his meager diet.
Still, each of them went their own way based on who they were. Her inspirational life story tells us how to selflessly devote oneself to the Dharma. The following are some of these revealing events from her life:
Marpha was frustrated because he couldn't receive the Dharma teachings the way he wanted.

Jetsun Milarepa passed on the profound teachings to his main disciple Gampopa (1079-1153). They were narrated to him by Vajradhara, Tilopa, Naropa and Marpa. Gampopa is also the master of the Kadam tradition. Milarepa imparted very special teachings to him as thirteen successive generations.
One of the most powerful teachings given by Milarepa Gampopa was entirely non-verbal. Milarepa sent him away to do a retreat. Then he suddenly called his students back and explained that he had one more lesson left. He lifted his cloth robe and showed Gampopa his scarred back. This was a testament to years of unremitting meditation to achieve full awakening.
Inspired by this, Gampopa set out to practice intensively.
