[Milarepa]
Milarepa, active from the 11th to 12th centuries, was a Tibetan monk, ascetic, and religious poet, considered the founder of the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism.
He practiced asceticism in remote mountain caves and finally attained enlightenment.
Afterward, he wandered throughout various regions, singing many religious poems and spreading the teachings of yoga practice.
Even today, Milarepa's poems are cherished in Tibet.
Furthermore, it is said that those who read his biography will not fall into the three evil realms (hell, hungry ghosts, animals) for seven lifetimes and will be reborn as humans.
