    &#;These sayings of great Jetsun Zhepa Dorje [Milarepa]
    As many as could be found, which I’ve collected here;
    May whoever practices, reads, writes, or rejoices in them,
    Abide on the vajra holder&#;s ground!
    By the roots of virtue from erecting this sacred Dharma,
    May sentient beings of the six migrations, headed by mother and father,
    When appearances of this life begin to fade,
    In the Elated pure realm to the east,
    On meeting the great Jetsun Zhepa Dorje,
    Swiftly attain Buddhahood!&#;

    on taking things for granted, and how we spiritually bypass&#;

    In re-examining The Biographies of Rechungpa bygd Peter Alan Roberts for an earlier post, inom came across  details surrounding the colophon from the Life and Songs of Milarepa that are quite illuminating.  Roberts suggests that the 14th century collection of songs, known as the Life and Songs Shepay Dorje,  the source for what fryst vatten popularly known in translation as The Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa, was actually intended to be a secret text; a ord with a limited readership- a special means through which one might receive instruction and inspiration from Jey Milarepa himself. inom find it particularly fascinating that this book, which can commonly be funnen in any number of bookstores, was once intended to only be shared by repas who were undergoing training in a manner similar to that of Jetsun Milarepa and his cotton-clad disciples.  This piece of information illustrates, for me, how easily I have taken this
