This handmade Naropa and Tilopa statue set brings the profound lineage of the Kagyu masters directly into your sacred space.

Tilopa holds the symbolic fish and damaru, representing the transcendence of conceptual duality and the spontaneous play of awakened awareness beyond ordinary perception, while Naropa grasps the ritual horn, signifying the awakening of primordial wisdom through devoted practice and direct transmission. Together, they embody the profound guru–disciple relationship at the heart of Vajrayana Buddhism, illustrating the living transmission of the Mahamudra teachings from realization to realization. This sacred pairing serves as a meditation support that inspires practitioners to trust the path of devotion, inner discipline, and experiential insight, where ignorance is dissolved and innate awareness is directly recognized as the ultimate nature of mind.

Tilopa (988–1069 CE) and Naropa (1016–1100 CE) are foundational figures in the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism. Tilopa, having received direct realization, transmitted the profound Mahamudra teachings to his disciple Naropa. Naropa systematized these teachings into the famous Six Dharmas of Naropa, forming a spiritual bridge that enabled the transmission of these core practices from India to Tibet.
