'''Milarepa''' (1040–1143) is the revered saint and poet of Tibetan Buddhism. He attained great mastery in the [[siddhis|yogic powers]], including [[levitation]] and flight through the air. He is characteristically depicted with his right hand cupped to his ear or near his ear. Some have surmised that this indicates that he is a ''shravaka'', which is a disciple of the Buddha, a “listener.” (''Shravaka'' means “hearing, listening to.”) Others believe the gesture may also symbolize Milarepa’s capacity to retain Buddhist teachings and doctrines in his ear. Milarepa was a master of the esoteric teachings of the [[tantra]], which were orally transmitted from guru to disciple. | '''Milarepa''' (1040–1143) is the revered saint and poet of Tibetan Buddhism.
