Milarepa, Tibet’s Greatest Yogi and Poet


When I am in retreat in my mountain cave,
in the high Himalayan wilderness above the snowline,
clad only in pure white Indian cotton robes
and samaya vows,
warm with the heat of samadhi,

My Father-guru Marpa the Translator
and all the root and lineage gurus,
Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are with me.
In spiritual practice this mountain meditator
is never alone

– Milarepa, Tibet’s greatest yogi and poet

This quote came to me from Lama Surya Das from his Weekly Words of Wisdom.
