“Kailash”
This journey of Kailash taught us a great deal and revealed much to us. It gave us an experience that awakens within us the feeling of transformation that arises when one has divine दर्शन (vision) and stands in the presence of the Divine. Today, we read what lessons we can learn from the life of Milarepa.
Around 1135 CE, Milarepa attained Mahasamadhi. He was such a great practitioner that after his nirvana, his body dissolved into light—only his nails and hair remained. Milarepa’s life itself is a teaching. His life is a message. What did we learn from his story?

The Message of Milarepa’s Life
No matter how sinful a person may be, if one repents with a sincere heart and takes refuge in a Guru, practicing under the Guru’s guidance, one can attain Buddhahood and be freed from all sins.
