An original hand-painted thangka of Jetsun Milarepa, the famous Tibetan yogi and poet whose inspiring life is a remarkable example of human determination, perseverance and spiritual accomplishment. Features intricate details painted in real gold by master Himalayan artists.
Mahasiddha Jetsun Milarepa is the famous Tibetan yogi and poet whose inspiring life is a remarkable example of spiritual accomplishment. He was no ordinary Tibetan saint. A student of the great master Marpa Lotsawa, Milarepa undertook a solitary life of meditation and is said to be the first to achieve the state of Vajradhara in one lifetime. He is revered among all four schools of Tibetan Buddhism for his devotion, religious zeal, remarkable perseverance, and spiritual attainments.
Milarepa is particularly renowned for his poems and spontaneous songs of realisation. His posture shows him cupping his ear with his right hand — this “listening” position symbolises his method of teaching the Dharma through songs.
