Marpa (1012–1097), also called Marpa Lotsawa, was a well-known 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.
