Milarepa's Song of Realization....

My Son, when simplicity arises in the mind,
Do not follow after conventional terms.
There’s a danger you will get trapped in the chains of eight dharmas.
Rest in a state free of pride.
Do you understand this,
Teacher from Central Tibet?
Do you understand this, Takpo Lhajey?

When self-liberation dawns from within,
Do not need reasonings of the logicians.
There’s a danger you will just waste your energy.
My Son, rest free of thoughts.
Do you understand this,
Teacher from Central Tibet?
Do you understand this, Takpo Lhajey?

Realize your own mind is emptiness,
And do not engage the reasoning beyond one or many.
There’s a danger you will fall into a nihilistic emptiness.
Do you understand this, Teacher from Central Tibet?
Do you understand this, Takpo Lhajey?

When immersed in mahamudra meditation,
Do not exert yourself in virtuous actions of body and speech.
There’s a danger the wisdom of non-thought will vanish.
My Son, rest uncontrived and loose.
Do you understand this,
Teacher from Central Tibet?
Do you understand this, Takpo Lhajey?

When the signs of enlightenment foretold by the scriptures arise,
Do not boast with joy or cling to them.
There’s a danger you will inherit the prophecy of mara instead.
Rest free of clinging.
Do you understand this,
Teacher from Central Tibet?
Do you understand this, Takpo Lhajey?

When you gain resolution regarding your mind,
Do not yearn for the higher cognitive powers.
There’s a danger you will be carried away by the mara of pretentiousness.
Son, rest free of hope and fear.
Do you understand this,
Teacher from Central Tibet?
Do you understand this, Takpo Lhajey?

Milarepa (1052 – 1135) is one of the most widely known Tibetan Saints. In a superhuman effort, he rose above the miseries of his younger life and with the help of his Guru, Marpa the Translator, took to a solitary life of meditation until he had achieved the pinnacle of the enlightened state, never to be born again into the Samsara (whirlpool of life and death) of worldly existence.

Out of compassion for humanity, he undertook the most rigid asceticism to reach the Buddhic state of enlightenment and to pass his accomplishments on to the rest of humanity. His spiritual lineage was passed along to his chief disciples, Gambopa and Rechung. It was Rechung who recorded in detail the incidents of Milarepa's life for posterity. The narrative of his life has thus been passed down through almost a millennium of time and has become an integral part of Tibetan culture.

In addition to Rechung's narrative of his life, Milarepa extemporaneously composed innumerable songs throughout his life relevant to the dramatic turns of events of himself and his disciples in accordance with an art form that was in practice at the time. These songs have been widely sung and studied in Tibet ever since and have been recorded as the Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa.

His faithful devotion, boundless religious zeal, monumental forbearance, superhuman perseverance, and ultimate final attainment are a great inspiration today for all. His auspicious life illumined the Buddhist faith and brought the light of wisdom to sentient beings everywhere.

Milarepa was born into the family of Mila-Dorje-Senge in the year 1052. His father was a trader in wool and had become wealthy by the standards of the time when his wife bore a son. The son was named Thopaga which means delightful to hear, and Thopaga, later known as Mila-repa (Mila, the cotton clad), lived up to his name as he had a beautiful voice and charmed his companions with his singing.
