MILAREPA Card

Milarepa is shown in his cave, in meditative posture. Milarepa--the cotton-clad yogin--is Tibet's most famous and beloved poet-saint. Revered for the depth of his realization and extraordinary ability to transmit the Buddha's teachings, Milarepa wandered the terrain of eleventh-century Tibet and Nepal guiding countless followers through his songs of liberation. His intense determination and perseverance under the tortuous guidance of his Tibetan guru, Marpa, and his spontaneous outpouring of a hundred thousand songs, serve as the most poignant biographical inspiration of spiritual endeavor. He is depicted sitting upon a black antelope skin in his meditation cave on the eastern side of Mount Kailash. He cups his right hand to his ear in the gesture of singing, and with his left hand, he holds a cup of nectar.
