LIFE OF MARPA THE TRANSLATOR
by Tsang Nyon Heruka
Marpa the Translator, the eleventh-century farmer, scholar, and teacher, is one of the most renowned saints in Tibetan Buddhist history. In the West, Marpa is best known through his teacher, the Indian yogi Naropa, and through his closest disciple, Milarepa. This lucid and moving translation of a text composed by the author of The Life of Milarepa and The Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa documents the fascinating life of Marpa, who, unlike many other Tibetan masters, was a layman, a skillful businessman who raised a family while training his disciples.

SPIRITUAL BIOGRAPHY OF MARPA, the Translator
by Thrangu Rinpoche
During Marpa's training he transformed his defects, such as his short temper and arrogance into good qualities such as courage and compassion that could benefit others. by this process, the qualities themselves expanded so that by the end of his training they actually became his experience and realization of completeness; he had become a supreme (i.e. an enlightened being). The lifestyle of Marpa - a businessman with a family - provides a good example for modern people. His example and teachings remain alive today in the unbroken lineage of the Kagyupa, of which Thrangu Rinpoche is a recognized master. He has realized these teachings directly so that when he teaches about Marpa he conveys not only the words but also their meaning.
