Milarepa (c. 1052–1135 CE) is one of Tibet's most renowned yogis and poets, a central figure in the history of the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism. After an early life marked by tragedy and negative karma, he dedicated himself to rigorous ascetic practice under the guidance of his guru Marpa the Translator, eventually attaining full enlightenment and becoming an exemplary Buddhist teacher. His life story, particularly the 'Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa,' serves as an enduring source of inspiration on the path to liberation.
