Yes, we were visiting the Milarepa's cave in the Manang.

Milarepa, who's that guy for anyone who hasn't heard the name? One of the great

greatest yogi.

who have achieved Buddhahood in his single lifetime.

But if we go back to his lifetime, he has been suffered a lot in early his life.

For example, his mother tells him to take revenge of the enemy who made them to suffer a lot.

So he did that.

He took the revenge.

He killed all of

the people.

So you followed a guy who learned occult magic to take revenge, to kill a bunch of people, to then eventually find some kind of enlightenment.

So if you go very briefly to his early life, so when he was very young, his father passed away.

Before passing away, the father gave all the properties to his brother, telling him that, please take care of my properties and look after my family.

When my son turned 18, please return all those my properties.

But when the son was 18, their uncle refused to give back whatever belonged to them.

And they made them to suffer a lot.

they were kept as the slave of their home where they used to work a lot and used to get very few foods and very old clothes and this made very sad to his mother and mother want to take revenge and the mother advised him to take do something to take revenge and at that time the uncle said if your son can do bring a war if you if your son have an army bring war if he's he if he don't have a team or group if he's single you can do occult

That's what the

uncle said.

Uncle and aunt said it.

At that time, this word triggered into his mother.

Mother really wanted to do it.

And mother asked his son to go and learn somewhere.

So he went and he did.

And he was successful in taking revenge of the enemy of their family.
