		As Marpa journeyed from Tibet to India, he met Lord Atisha, who said to him that Naropa had already "left." Now Atisha used a very polite form of the word "left" so that it translated as "passing away," and he gave Marpa no hint as to which pure realm Naropa was currently in.

		THE TIBETAN BUDDHIST TRADITION is especially rich because the teachings of the Buddha were preserved in their entirety and elaborated upon over the centuries by meditators who took the teachings to heart and brought them to full fruition in their own mind streams.
		The Kagyu, or "practice" lineage, contributed greatly to this tradition through the attainment and teachings of its extraordinary practitioners, including Marpa Lotsawa, the great translator; Jetsun Milarepa, Tibet's greatest yogi; and continuing with the succession of seventeen Gyalwa Karmapas.
		MARPA LOTSAWA, who brought the Buddha's teaching from India to Tibet in the eleventh century, prophecied that the Kagyu Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism would spread throughout the world.
