| Quotation | I have been reading the poetry of Milarepa, the great Tibetan yogi, who was born in 1052. "Repa""”"clad in one piece of cotton." (Because of his heat meditations?) He stands at the head of the Kagyudpa tradition. The "whispered transmission," i.e., esoteric. But he was not a bhikkhu, and his master, Marpa, was a layman. |
