Marpa: The Translator: Crash Course

from The Open Treasury: Narrated by Tara Hosted by Tara, with Joseph Matten

The least mystical job title in the series - lotsawa, the translator: a landowner with a temper who turned his inheritance into gold and crossed the Himalaya into India three times, carrying back the whispered lineage that became the Kagyu. Quoting Lotsawa House translations (CC BY-NC 4.0) non-commercially, with attribution. Provisional rendering: an original AI-voiced telling of the lineage account, not an authoritative history.
