| | Manjushri - Tibetan Kadampa School Teaching |
 | | Gampopa, having met with Milarepa, received all the instructions of the Kagyu lineage, which he mastered by progressively proceeding through the four stages of mahamudra: one- pointedness (rtse-gcig), free from conceptual elaboration (spros-bral), one taste (ro-gcig) and non-meditation (sgom-med), this process culminating in perfect realisation of mahamudra. |
 | | Thus, the particular feature of the Kagyu lineage is that the teacher, having mastered the instructions, clears away defects - relating to intellectual understanding, meditation experience and the various levels of realisation. |
 | | The Kagyu (bka'-brgyud) lineage was founded by the great siddha Tilopa (988-1069), also known as Prajnabhadra. |
