First Name Tilopa
Died 1069
Nationality Indian
Occupation Philosopher

Tilopa (Prakrit; Sanskrit: Talika or Tilopadā) (988–1069) was born in either Chativavo (Chittagong), Bengal or Jagora, Bengal in India. Jagora may be an alternative transliteration of Chattogram, the Bengali name for Chittagong, i.e. may be the same city. Chittagong is now a city within Bangladesh rather than India. Tilopa's name translates to "the tahini maker". He lived along the Ganges River, with wild ladies as a tantric practitioner and mahasiddha. He practiced Anuttarayoga Tantra, a set of spiritual practices intended to accelerate the process of attaining Buddhahood. He became a holder of all the tantric lineages, possibly the only person in his day to do so. As well as the way of Insight, and Mahamudra he learned and passed on the Way of Methods, today known as the 6 Yogas of Naropa, and guru yoga. Naropa is considered his main student. At Pashupatinath temple premise, greatest Hindu shrine of Nepal, there are two caves where Tilopa attained Siddhi and initiated his disciple Naropa.
