This Marpha Statue Set features three esteemed Tibetan masters, Marpa, Gampopa, and Milarepa, expertly handcrafted from oxidized copper. Each statue captures the unique iconography associated with these significant figures. Marpa, the translator and teacher of Milarepa, is shown in a grounded meditative posture, with both hands resting on the earth, reflecting his role in transmitting profound teachings from India to Tibet. Gampopa, a key figure in the Kagyu lineage, is depicted in dhyana mudra with an alms bowl, symbolizing meditative concentration and the purity of monastic discipline. Milarepa, Tibet’s most famous yogi and poet-saint, is represented with his signature pale body, right hand cupped to his ear—indicating deep spiritual listening and spontaneous realization through song—and an alms bowl in his left hand, signifying renunciation and ascetic practice. Together, the set embodies the lineage, practice, and realization of Tibetan Buddhism’s Kagyu tradition.

These three masters represent a direct and unbroken lineage of transmission within the Kagyu tradition. Marpa was the root teacher who traveled to India and received teachings from great masters like Naropa before bringing them to Tibet. He later passed these profound tantric teachings to his disciple Milarepa, who became renowned for his intense yogic practice and realization. Gampopa, originally a monk in the Kadampa tradition, became Milarepa’s foremost student and played a crucial role in systematizing the teachings, combining monastic discipline with Mahamudra meditation. This lineage—from Marpa to Milarepa to Gampopa—forms the spiritual foundation of the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism.
