Marpa Lotsawa, or Marpa Chökyi Lodrö, was one of the most important masters of Tibetan Buddhism and the founder of our tradition, the Kagyu lineage. He was a true mahasiddha who not only received the teachings, but fully realized them. Through the Marpa empowerment and the practice of his guru yoga, we can receive the blessing of Marpa, and also gain a deeper understanding of the true nature of phenomena.
The practice of Vajrasattva is one of the most important methods in Vajrayana Buddhism for purifying defilements and obscurations. It is also one of the uncommon preliminary practices of ngöndro. Having first taken refuge and developed the attitude of bodhicitta, the practitioner begins to purify the obscurations of the mind and makes the mind workable and suitable for the further stages of practice.

The transmission of this Chenrezig empowerment originates from the great mahasiddha Thangtong Gyalpo, who, according to his contemporaries, was none other than Chenrezig himself appearing in human form. Chenrezig is the embodiment of enlightened compassion — mahakaruṇa — and the protector of Tibet. His mantra, OM MANI PEME HUNG, dispels all the suffering of saṃsāra.
