Introduction To Naropa: Naropa was an Indian Buddhist yogi and scholar who was considered one of the key figures in the Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. His most famous disciple was Tilopa. Naropa enrolled in the renowned Buddhist University in Nalanda when he was 28 and began studying Tantra and Sutra. He had a reputation as a brilliant student and flawless debater, which was crucial at the time because the debate custom dictated that the loser became the winner's student by default. He finally earned the title "Guardian of the Northern Gate" after participating in numerous arguments, teaching, and winning over multiple pupils. How do you take care of your statues? • Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.• Make sure that the area where your statue is placed is completely free of moisture and dust.• Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by Lama/monks. The best practice is to keep them covered inside a glass cabinet.• Do not use your bare hands or any objects with a rough surface to wipe the face. Directly touching objects with the bare hand can smudge the face, leaving scratches
