Marpa - His Life
|
||||||
|
Marpa prepared an excellent thanksgiving feast for the gurus, yidams, dharmapalas, and protectors for their past favor. Supplicating them and entrusting them with his future success, he arranged elaborate offerings and tqrma for the feast and performed a good ganacakra. Taking about fifty sang of gold, he prepared to depart for India. Though a few students requested to go as attendants, Marpa did not grant his permission and said he would go alone. Thus he left and arrived in Nepal, where he met Chitherpa and Paindapa. He offered them gold and they were pleased. The Nepalese dharma brothers arranged for some trustworthy companions to accompany him, and so Marpa went with them to India where he arrived without mishap.
