Eva van Dam on Milarepa

“Milarepa sent word that all who had known him and had faith in him, and those who wished to meet him, should come. For many days Milarepa held a discourse on the law of karma and the nature of reality. To everyone present, all kinds of phenomena appeared, all heard exquisite music, wonderful odors filled the air and rainbows arched the clear blue sky. A great happiness pervaded the whole assembly... Surrounded by his disciples Milarepa entered a deep state of meditation. Thus he passed away at the age of eighty four.”
