------------
Jetsun Milarepa lived from 1052-1135 and is generally considered one of Tibet’s most famous yogi saints and poets. Born in the village of Kya Ngatsa, also known as Tsa in the Gungthang province of western Tibet to a prosperous family he was named Mila Thöpaga which means “A joy to hear.” When his father died, Milarepa’s aunt and uncle took all of the family’s wealth. At his mother’s request, Milarepa left home to study black magic. While his aunt and uncle were having a party to celebrate the impending marriage of their son, he took his revenge by summoning a giant scorpion to demolish their house, killing 35 people, although the aunt and uncle were supposed to have survived. The villagers were angry and set off to look for Milarepa, but his mother got word to him and he sent a hailstorm to destroy their crops.
Milarepa later lamented his evil ways and knowing that revenge was wrong, Milarepa set out to find a lama. He was led to Marpa the translator. Marpa proved an extremely hard task master. Before Marpa would teach Milarepa he had him build and then demolish three towers in turn. When Marpa still refused to teach Milarepa, he went to Marpa’s wife, who took pity on him. She forged a letter of introduction to another teacher, Lama Ngogdun Chudor, under whose tutelage he began to practice meditation. However when he was making no progress, he confessed the forgery and Ngogdun Chudor said that it was vain to hope for spiritual growth without the guru Marpa’s approval.
Milarepa returned to Marpa, and after practicing very diligently for twelve years, Milarepa attained enlightenment. He is said to be the first to achieve this state within one lifetime.

Theo truyền thống của Mật tông ở bên Tibet th́:
Trước hết người Thầy chấp nhận 1 học tṛ th́ vị Thầy đó phải có khả năng giúp cho học tṛ của ḿnh tẩy rửa (hay là phương pháp tẩy rửa nghiệp xưa cũ) rồi sau đó nhờ vào công phu tu tập dần dần nghiệp xưa hết th́ tự nhiên vị học tṛ cũng sẽ nhập vào gịng Thánh ngay trong đời này!
