Lecture: Early history of Kagyu - Marpa, Milarepa, Gampopa.
The Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism traces its origins to the translator Marpa, who in the 11th century brought the Vajrayana teachings from India to Tibet, subsequently passing them on to his chief disciple Milarepa, a renowned yogi and poet, who then transmitted them to Gampopa, a physician from Dagpo who took monastic vows, systematized these teachings, and established the foundations for the further flourishing of the Kagyu lineage.
DUPSENG RINPOCHE
The current, third, Dupseng Rinpoche was born in 1981 in Mundgod. Rinpoche was recognized by H.E Shamar Rinpoche, Tai Situ Rinpoche and Goshir Gyaltsab Rinpoche as the reincarnation of 2nd Dupseng Rinpoche.
Rinpoche is first and foremost a vajra master guiding his students, both monastic and lay, in their practice of the Buddhadharma through all levels.
For his lay students Rinpoche has been traveling and teaching for years, holding group retreats and guiding smaller and larger groups in shorter and longer retreats. It is Rinpoche’s aspiration to guide his lay students to the same accomplishments as the traditional lamas.
Additionally, Rinpoche is often invited by his disciples and students to Australia, East and West Europe, USA, South America and Canada in order to teach all level of Buddha dharma, which is the source of momentary and ultimate happiness. He has already taught in more than a hundred countries, which caused His Holiness the Dalai Lama in a meeting with Rinpoche in 2012 to remark, ‘oh, you’ve traveled more than me — quite surprising for one so young.’ ????
