Tilopa was a renowned 10th-century Indian mahasiddha who directly received the teachings of Mahamudra from the primordial Buddha, Vajradhara. As the founding patriarch of the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism, his life of unconventional realization and profound teachings on non-meditation continue to guide modern seekers toward spontaneous liberation.
