Introduction to Buddhist Master
Gampopa received teachings from masters from many lineages, including Nyingma and Kadampa. He became the foremost disciple of the renowned yogi Milarepa at 30, receiving instruction in Vajravarahi, the tummo, and Mahamudra from him—the master's clothing with traditional Tibetan adornment. Ashtamangala is used to carve the throne (Eight auspicious symbols).
