Biographical Details
Marpa Chokyi Lodro, Translator (1012-1096 [P2636]): founder of one of the two schools named Kagyu (the Oral Tradition) in Tibetan Buddhism. Marpa's tradition was called Kagyu and after him was called Marpa Kagyu to differentiate the tradition from the unrelated Shangpa Kagyu founded by Kedrub Kyungpo Naljor.
Marpa's most famous student was Milarepa, but probably his most beloved student was Dharmadode. (See a Milarepa: Teachers & Students Outline).
