Introduction To Milarepa :
Milarepa is believed to be the most beloved and highly accomplished Buddhist master of Tibet. His songs on enlightened experiences are still sung today by the learned and laypeople alike. During his early career, Milarepa committed many evil deeds through black magic and sending hailstorms, too. He later regretted his evil deeds and eventually found his worthy and enlightened Marpa, who put him on trials and hardships to test his guru's devotion and eagerness to practice dharma teachings. He later conferred on him the series of empowerments and essential teachings of Maha Mudra, which he received from Naropa. Milarepa meditated on these tantric teachings with great zeal in wild and forlorn mountains for 6 years and eventually realized Vajradharahood in his very lifetime. Millions of devotees took inspiration from his practice and verification of Buddhist teachings.
How do take care of your statues?
• Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
• Make sure that the area where your statue is placed is completely free of moisture and dust.
• Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by Lama/monks. The best practice is to keep them covered inside a glass cabinet.
• Do not use your bare hands or any objects with a rough surface to wipe the face. Directly touching with the bare hand objects can smudge the face, leaving scratches.
