Marpa, Milarepa & Gampopa Set | Kagyu Trio of Transmission, Practice & Realization

Bring the living lineage of the Kagyu tradition into your sacred space with this colorful Marpa, Milarepa and Gampopa statue set. Handcrafted in Nepal by Newari artisans using lost-wax method, each figure is cast in copper and hand-painted with vibrant acrylic colors. Fine 3D hand-carving adds texture and movement to the robes, which are finished with gold-gilding along the borders adds a lasting shine and each face carries a gentle expression that reflects the skill of its makers.

At the center, Marpa Lotsawa sits in meditation with both hands extended over his knees, a gesture of inner stability. He is honored for bringing key Buddhist teachings and tantric transmissions from India to Tibet. Beside him, Milarepa, the beloved cotton-clad yogi, sits at ease with one knee raised and one hand lifted to his ear, while the other holds a skull cup. Gampopa, the founding master of the Dagpo Kagyu lineage, wears his iconic scholar's hat and cradles a flaming jewel, a symbol of enlightened wisdom.

Together, these three masters express the Kagyu path of transmission, practice and realization, from receiving the teachings to living them and awakening. Each figure rests on a richly painted pedestal, making this set a meaningful centerpiece for a lineage shrine, monastery or personal devotional space. It is also a thoughtful gift for practitioners and collectors of Buddhist art.

About Milarepa, Gampopa, Marpa 

Three of the greatest masters of Tibetan Buddhism were Marpa the Translator, Milarepa the Yogin, and Gampopa the Physician. Marpa's journey to India to be trained by the famous siddhas and his passing on of such teachings became the very foundation upon which his disciple Milarepa, the celebrated poet-saint, sonneteer of groaning revelations, could build. Milarepa's disciple Gampopa cemented the principles of the Kagyu school by harmonizing monastic discipline with yogic practice. These three are an embodiment of the passing on of wisdom, perseverance, and compassion through the generations and have become a source of inspiration to an innumerable number of practitioners on the way to freedom.
