Marpa (1012–1097), also known as Marpa Lotsawa, was a renowned Tibetan Buddhist teacher and translator. His most well-known contributions are his translations of numerous significant Buddhist texts from Sanskrit into Tibetan and his role as Milarepa's teacher. Marpa studied under renowned gurus in India and Nepal, making many trips there and returning with a wealth of knowledge and techniques that would have a big impact on Tibetan Buddhism. His life is a prime example of how to combine intense spiritual practice with rigorous academic study. The Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism was founded on the translation and dissemination of the teachings by Marpa.
Introduction To Marpha :
As you can see, Marpa Lotsawa (1012–1097), also known as Lhodrak Marpa Choski Lodos or simply Marpa "the Translator," was a Tibetan Buddhist teacher who brought many Vajrayana teachings from India to Tibet, including the Mahamudra teachings and their lineages. The master's clothing is adorned with traditional Tibetan adornment.
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 entirely free of moisture and dust.
• Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by a 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.
