Vajrayana Buddhism was introduced to Tibet by the influential Tibetan Buddhist teacher and translator Marpa Lotsawa (1012–1097). He was trained by the Indian Mahasiddha Naropa and translated many significant Tibetan tantric scriptures from Sanskrit. Marpa was the founder of the Kagyu lineage and mentored numerous students, among them the well-known yogi Milarepa. His contributions guaranteed the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism would be preserved and passed on, and they had a tremendous impact on how the religion developed.
