Milarepa Thangka
Milarepa is historical individual. He wrote the Gurbum, the Hundred Thousand Songs, a book that has been handed down and form which all Tibetans know some poems. As an ascetic he withdrew into caves where he spent years in solitary meditation. Thangka shows that he sitting in a characteristic position with his right hand behind his ear, listening to the sounds of silence. Nature was the teacher of his arts, and the inexhaustible source of inspiration for his verses.
