Translated by Lama Zopa Rinpoche, this advice by the eminent Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye is a reminder to rely on Milarepa, the beloved 11th-century yogi and teacher renowned for his guru devotion and perseverance.
Jetsun Milarepa lived from 1052–1135 and is generally considered one of Tibet’s most famous yogi saints and poets. He is remembered by all sects of Tibetan Buddhism for living an inspiring life of spiritual progress and human accomplishment.
From the text:
Lord Mila, guru enriched with realizations,
Promised that merely hearing his name
Would close the door to rebirth in the lower realms for seven lifetimes.
Milarepa now abides in the city of great unification.
He blesses every single place and being of samsara and nirvana.
He definitely looks with compassion upon everyone who makes requests to him.
He bestows magnificent blessings upon everyone with devotion to him.
Therefore, supreme enriched yogi, I will strive in practice.
