The transmission continued from Miralepa to Je Gampopa. Je Gampopa was a physician who lived in Tibet from 1079-1153. Initially, he studied the teachings of the Kadampa tradition but after meeting Miralepa, Gampopa attained the profound realization of the true nature of reality under Miralepa's compassionate guidance. Gampopa was the founder of many monastic institutions. He taught widely and extensively. His knowledge and abilities at giving teachings and instructions attracted many followers and students. It was due to the efforts of Lord Gampopa that some practices which belonged to the Kadampa tradition was later integrated with the Mahamudra. This traditional method of practice is still followed by practitioners following the Kagyu tradition till today.
