Milarepa (c. 1052–c. 1135) is one of the most famous Tibetan yogis and poets, a central figure in the history of the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism. After an early life marked by revenge through black magic, he turned to the Dharma, enduring immense hardship under his guru, Marpa the Translator. Through relentless practice, austerity, and unwavering devotion, Milarepa achieved full enlightenment, becoming an exemplar of spiritual transformation and liberation for countless generations.
