Milarepa's yearning and struggles for salvation.. his dedication to it, his dedication to his guru marpa, is making me tear up..

[pemalhaden]

Thank you for sharing the story of the legendary being, Jetsuen Mila Repa.🙏🏻
According to the Tibetan text, Mila’s mom and sister had not died after he came back from mastering black magic but in fact he learnt that his mom had died when he returned back from getting teachings from Marpa(Mila’s spiritual master).

[petagonkyi]

Marpa's teacher was Naropa who was an abbot at the Nalanda University. While teaching at Nalanda Naropa met a Dakini who was disguised an old lady asked him many questions on Dharma which Naropa answered correctly said you have only learnt the bookish knowledge, not the experiential one or the ultimate one. To receive the experiential knowledge you have to seek master Tilopa. Marpa left Nalanda and headed toward what is known North India as at that time both Kashmir region and Bihar and UP were the great monasteries and gurus lived. The place is called Trilokpur, HP where Tilopa is supposed to have meditated. Naropa was also subjected to trials (12 major and 24 minor) by Tilopa before he was given the teaching.

That's the reason why his holliness dalai lama always says he is son of India... All the root texts of tibetan Buddhism(all the four sects) are from Indian gurus...

[kamalsarraj-andaloussi]

These are teachings that impacts the most, when Sadhguru narrates the story and you can live its frequency vibrating within you it feels like a wonderful journey and travel across the century from the comfort of your own seat. Don’t record the words but find a place within you to store the tale. Namaskaram Sadhguru I love how you rekindle a dimming candlelight.

Milarepa teacher was Marpa, And Marpa teacher was Tilopa and Naropa from India.

[bhutanpowersystem]

Wow...Sadhguru Ji...I have heard the Naamthaar( Story of Englightened one) of Jitsun Milarepa since my childhood. The very narration of Sadhguru is very powerful & felt differently within myself. Sadhguru Ji is not an ordinary human..indeed Englightened one. 🙏🙏🙏

[madridzer]

I heard this stories from my father (i am from ladakh) milarepa was one of the most important yogi in kyagu lineage one of the 4 lineage of tibetan Buddhism.

[jessicashanteau]

I just love listening to you Sadhguru❤

[petagonkyi]

Mila Repa's lineage is known for the practice of mystic heat known as Tumo in Tibetan - ability to generate body heat without clothes through meditation. Repa (cotton clad) is the epithet given to Mila as he survived the bitter winter in Himalayan caves with just cotton cloth.
In 1970s American doctor such as Herbert Benson of Harvard University has conducted the experiment on the Tibetan Buddhist monks who practice Tumo meditation were amazed to learn the ability of monks to dry the wet cloths on their bare bodies and increase body temperature in freezing temperature through Tumo meditation.


Dr Benson is one of the earliest one to adopt Mindfulness meditation as therapy in the West.

[samarkumarparhi]

Sadhguru is our Milarepa. We are so lucky that our Guru is with us.

[petagonkyi]

One dharmic lesson Milarepa learned: While Milarepa was cooking a nettle soup near a stream, suddenly a strong storm came and blew away the only piece of clothing he had in the air and got tangled on top of a tree. While trying to catch the cloth, the wind knocked the earthen pot down and broke it.
At that moment he realized the emptiness and impermanence of the material world.
