Tibetans universally revere Milarepa as a great Buddhist saint who became fully enlightened. The story of his life and path are recorded in a biography written by one of his disciples. In it, Milarepa recounts to his students the events of his life—from his practice of the [[Black magic|black arts]] as a youth and his penance and probationary period under a [[Guru]] of the True Doctrine, to his initiation on the “Path of Light” and his practice of renunciation and meditation.<ref>See W.

Los tibetanos reverencian universalmente a Milarepa como un gran santo budista que llegó a estar completamente iluminado. La historia de su vida y sendero constan en una biografía escrita por uno de sus discípulos. En ella, Milarepa relata a sus estudiantes los acontecimientos de su vida, desde su práctica de las artes negras cuando era joven y su penitencia y período de prueba bajo un Gurú de la Verdadera Doctrina, hasta su iniciación en el «Sendero de Luz» y la práctica que tenía de renuncia y meditación.<ref></ref>


Milarepa learned the black arts in order to bring vengeance upon his wicked relatives. During his cousin’s wedding feast he brings down the home of his uncle by his sorcery, causing the death of all the guests. When the villagers seek to avenge this slaughter, he creates hailstorms and destroys their crops.
