and physical powers in tibet
he fasted on nettles till his skin gained a green hue, he was one of the great legends or "keith jones" or like posting legends "bluto" and "squadfather" of his time
one must reasearch to catch up with tactics
he did a lot of harm with black magic to begin with .. then wanted to redeem hisself for that and searched for a way to do so .. he was sent off to be alone and ended up in a cave with only nettles to eat
you sometimes seem deranged when you turn things into some wondrous secret plan you come across that will save the world's population from disease and suffering slow deaths
you read into things what you want to see
you are on a quest to be enlightened and refuse to see that you are perceived as a lunatic because you rant about stuff that can potentially cause health problems
have you ever once thought that all your experimenting is what is killing you ?
Begging for cereals from farmers in the plain and for seasoning from shepherds in the mountains, Milarepa went looking for a cavern suitable for meditation. Finally he reached the White Rock cave (Drag-kar Ta-so) and retired in it for three years, determined to go on until he obtained the liberation of mind.
"A lot of nettle grew around the cave and some excellent water ran by: from nettle I got a fabric for the external shelter of my body and a tasteless flour for the inner nourishment. Therefore my body became like a skeleton, my skin took the colour of nettle and the consistency of wax and even my hairs became bristly, green. All my bones protruded and my limbs were about to breakoff."
At this point Milarepa's sister, Peta, in the yearly festivity of the country, learnt that her brother was alive and decided to leave to meet him again. After a month she reached him and brought him flour, butter and wine.
"I accepted Peta's offerings and I ate and drank, so that immediately my intelligence got clearer at last."
