| | Gampopa |
 | | From Nyal, in East Tibet, Gampopa (1079-1135) was the son of a doctor, and a doctor himself. |
 | | His wife falling sick of the same disease, and similarly failing to respond to his ministrations, begged him as she died not to marry again, but to become a monk. |
 | | Gampopa, a talented writer, of great insight, was entrusted by Milarepa with the complete Kagyu transmission - the only one of Milarepa's students so honoured - before leaving Milarepa to go into retreat at Dagpo in South-East Tibet. |
