Beautiful words of the 13th Century Tibetan sage, Milarepa, words I was introduced to by the books of controversial esoteric author Lobsang Tuesday Rampa (Wisdom of the Ancients), words that resurface in my mind with no prompting since I read them several decades ago:
"I am a Sage who possesses in plenitude the manifold treasures of Desire; and wherever I dwell I am happy"
"Raging enemies be content to shun, for enmity is a traveller on the wrong Path"
Jetsun Milarepa is one of the greatest poets and mystics known to me.He lived in eleventh century Tibet.His poetry is rich with reflections on the details of his search for ultimate meaning,the quest for Budhahood.
