Marpa was the root teacher, who traveled to India and received teachings from great masters like Naropa before bringing them to Tibet. He later passed these profound tantric teachings to his disciple Milarepa, who became renowned for his intense yogic practice and realization. Gampopa, originally a monk in the Kadampa tradition, became Milarepa’s foremost student and played a crucial role in systematizing the teachings, combining monastic discipline with Mahamudra meditation. This lineage—from Marpa to Milarepa to Gampopa—forms the spiritual foundation of the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism.
