Marpa The Translator

The tradition is based on the teachings of the four great masters- Tilopa, Naropa, Marpa and Milarepa - who developed the system of meditation known as Mahamudra.

According to tradition the teaching was imparted to Tilopa by Vajradhara. From Tilopa it was transmitted to Naropa, from Naropa to Marpa, from Marpa to Milarepa, and then from teacher to disciple to this day.
