Dakpo Lharje, also known as Gampopa (1079–1153), was the founder of the Kagyu monastic tradition and a key figure in Tibetan Buddhism. He was a doctor before turning into a monk and being enlightened with the help of the renowned yogi Milarepa. Gampopa combined the teachings of Milarepa with the monastic discipline of the Kadampa, resulting in a distinctive fusion that served as the basis for the Kagyu school. Tibetan Buddhism was profoundly influenced by his foundational writings, such as "The Jewel Ornament of Liberation," and his students, who included the first Karmapa.
