Marpa was first trained as a translator under Drogmi Yeshe (993-1050), and then
travelled three times to India and four times to Nepal in search of buddhist
teachings. He is said to have studied with a hundred and eight masters and yogis,
but his principal teachers were Naropa and Maitripa. From Naropa, he received the
lineage of tantric teachings called the Four Special Transmissions.
The Kagyu Lineage traces its origin back to the historic Buddha, Shakyamuni
through Marpa, the great translator and yogi, who brought the unbroken lineage
from India to Tibet.
