Milarepa's journey from darkness to enlightenment is incredibly inspiring. It shows that no matter how far one has strayed, there is always a path to redemption and spiritual awakening. His story is a profound reminder of the power of transformation through dedication and perseverance.

dont forget the pivotal point of his journey was being lucky enough to find a guru. In all dharmic traditions(hinduism, buddhism, jainism, sikhism) guru is of paramount importance and only a guru can lead you to enlightenment fast because he knows your all karmas from this and past lives and knows how to resolve them quickly

[@BharatBased]

​@@villainsandvagrantslol right 😂

[@leprechaunalley7207]

It seems like there’s always an intense emotional experience just before an awakening. It’s just beautiful. I read in a Buddhist text (the name escapes me) that intense, anger or intense love can lead us to enlightenment and hearing the story of Milerepa with his parents’ bones just spoke to me regarding this concept. It’s not an invitation to choose a path of anger, but an emotional response to a profound event whether it’s awe inspiring or traumatic and then awe inspiring. When we get rid of the chatter, we will be awed. ❤

:"Milarepa was a mystic who lived in Tibet. One day a young man came to him and said, “I want to attain some powers. Please give me a mantra.” Milarepa said, “We don’t have any mantras. We are mystics. Mantras are for magicians, for jugglers - go to them. We don’t have any mantras - why should we need powers?” But the more Milarepa refused, the more the young man thought that there must be something there - why else should he refuse? So he kept returning to Milarepa again and again. Great crowds always gather around the saints who drive people away with sticks or throw stones at them. The crowds think that the saint must have something special otherwise he would not be driving people away. But we don’t realize that attracting people through an advertisement in a newspaper or through throwing stones at them, is the same trick. The propaganda is the same. And the second way is more manipulative and cunning. When people are driven away by someone throwing stones, they don’t understand that they are actually being attracted. This is a subtle way of doing it. And the people do come although they have no idea that they have been seduced. The young man thought that perhaps Milarepa was trying to hide something so he started coming everyday. In the end Milarepa got fed up so he wrote him a mantra on a paper and said, “Take this. Tonight is the night of no moon. Read this five times during the night. If you read it five times, you will get the power you want. Then you will be able to do whatever you want to do. Now go and leave me alone.” The young man grabbed the paper and turned round and ran. He did not even thank Milarepa. But he had not descended the steps of the temple when Milarepa called after him, “My friend! I forgot to tell you one thing. There is a certain condition attached to this mantra. When you read it, you should not have any thoughts in your mind about a monkey.” The young man said, “Don’t be worried, I have never had such a thought in my whole life. There has never been any reason to think of a monkey. I have to read this only five times. There is no problem.” But he made a mistake. He had not even descended to the bottom of the steps when the monkeys started coming. He became very scared. He closed his eyes and there were monkeys inside; he looked outside and even where there were no monkeys, he saw some! It was already night, and every movement in the trees seemed to be a monkey. It seemed that monkeys were everywhere. By the time he got home he was very worried because up until then he had never thought about monkeys. He had never had anything to do with them. He took a bath, but while he was bathing the monkeys were with him. His whole mind was obsessed with only one thing - monkeys. Then he sat down to read the mantra. He picked up the paper, closed his eyes - and there was a crowd of monkeys inside teasing him. He became very much afraid, but still he persevered the whole night. He changed his positions; he tried to sit in this way, in that way, in padmasana, in siddhasana, in other different yoga postures. He prayed, he bowed, he begged; he cried out to anybody to help him get rid of these monkeys. But the monkeys were adamant. They were not ready to leave him that night. By the morning the young man was almost mad with fear and he realized that the mantra power could not be attained so easily. He saw that Milarepa had been very clever, he had put a difficult condition on him. Milarepa was crazy! If there was going to be a hindrance because of the monkeys then at least he should not have mentioned them. Then perhaps the mantra power could have been attained. In the morning he went back to Milarepa crying and said, “Take your mantra back. You have made a big mistake! If monkeys were a hindrance in using this mantra, then you should not have mentioned them. I never usually think of monkeys but the whole of last night the monkeys chased me. Now I will have to wait for my next life to attain this mantra power because in this life this mantra and the monkeys have become united. Now it is not possible to get rid of them.” The monkeys had become united with the mantra. How did they become united? His mind insisted that the monkeys should not be there and so the monkeys came. Whenever his mind tried to get rid of the monkeys, the monkeys appeared. Whenever his mind tried to escape from the monkeys the monkeys came. To forbid is to attract; to refuse is to invite; to prevent is to tempt. Our mind has become very sick because we don’t understand this simple point."

As I heard it the definition of a saint is one who has both been through great suffering and put themselves also through same, to attain wisdom/enlightenment. Usually of a single faith. Sage is one who pulls from many different places to derive Truth. Learned is an academic scholar of wisdom.

Milarepa was emotionally blackmailed by his mother to get black magic powers to get revenge on his uncle and other people who treated them cruelly like slaves. ..his father was a great landlord and he had a wife and one son and daughter...he fell sick to an incurable illness and passes away...before dying he entrusted his property to his brother saying that he would be its guardian and return the property to milarepa which he never did....the evil man tortured and treated like slaves his brothers wife and children after his death...he slapped milarepas mother when she tried to tell him to return the land to milarepa at the right age...hence she grew resentful and bitter of this cruel treatment so she threatened milarepa that she would die unless he did something to take his revenge....when milarepa took his revenge he himself started to feel guilty and wanted to clean his karma

So the milarepa the one you are searching for is from kagyu lineage. I think you know 17th Gyalwang Karmapa he is the leader of kagyu lineage same as milarepa. You just have find monastery who follows kagyu lineage.👍👍👍

Same with Asoka.. who truely heartfelt after massive war massacre and keep crying in the name of god realise the fact that he is only one who is dying with his sin while rest all enjoying his achievement. Even he has done this somebody did it. And he might be killed. This fact in mind he accepted that if it was budha rule no body actually need to kill no one. He left palace and give up all achievements and he really did realise that anything he did as king was fully sinful .. rather he would had choose other way. Same with Valmiki.. as Naradaji Vishnu can finish him but realising fact he is not going to do any crime rather good works , he said this guy should regret enough and do something for society and everyone should learn this. It is also believed that Narad speak through wife and father and send him back to jungle and came back early.
