This famous yogi (1040–-1143) is one of the greatest and most celebrated teachers in Tibetan Buddhism. Despite having accumulated heavy negative karma in his early adulthood, he became the student of Marpa and attained full awakening in one lifetime. He then composed the 100,000 Songs, spontaneously created to elucidate his experience of realization. His students include Gampopa and Rechungpa.
