Gampopa (1079–1153 CE), also known as Dakpo Lharje, was a principal disciple of Milarepa and a pivotal figure in the development of the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism. He masterfully synthesized the Kadampa tradition's monastic discipline with Milarepa's profound tantric teachings, establishing the structured monastic framework that defined the Kagyu lineage and continues to thrive today.
