Milarepa, the great Tibetan yogi and saint, is a source of inspiration for practitioners due to his devotion to his guru and subsequent achievement of enlightenment in a single lifetime. The Guru Yoga of Milarepa is central to the Kagyu tradition and a basis for Mahamudra practice. Supplication to Milarepa can bring great blessings and support True Nature of Mind practice and the accomplishment of Phowa, the transference of consciousness at the time of death.
