THE HUNDRED THOUSAND SONGS OF MILAREPA
moment He and His wife must be preaching the doctrines of Tantra,
giving initiation and instruction to my brothers. Yes, my Guru is
there. If I could go there now, I should be able to see Him." An im-
measurable, unbearable longing for his teacher arose in his heart as
he thought despairingly of his Guru. His eyes filled with tears, and he
began to sing a song, ''Thoughts of My Guru":
In thoughts of you, Father Marpa, my
suffering is relieved;
I, the mendicant, now sing you a fervent song.
Above Red Rock Jewel Valley, in the East,
Floats a cluster of white clouds;
Beneath them, like a rearing elephant, a
huge mountain towers;
Beside it, like a lion leaping, looms another peak.
In the temple of Oro Wo Valley rests a great
seat of stone;
Who is now enthroned there?
Is it Marpa the Translator?
If it were you, I would be joyful and happy.
Though limited in reverence, I wish to see you;
Though weak in faith, I wish to join you.
The more I meditate, the more I long for my Guru.
Does your wife, Dagmema, still dwell with you?
To her I am more grateful than to my mother.
If she is there I will be joyful and happy.
Though long the journey, I wish to see her,
Though perilous the road, I wish to join her.
The more I contemplate, the more I think of you;
The more I meditate, the more I think of my Guru.
How happy I would be could I join the gathering,
At which you may be preaching the Hevajra Tantra.6
Though of simple mind, I wish to learn.
Though ignorant, I long to recite.
The more I contemplate, the more I think of you;
The more I meditate, the more I think of my Guru.
