MILARAPPA
# Milarappa is a medicant monk & poet.
# He is represented in the bronzes seated on a gazelles skin on a lotus asana.
# He has short,curly hair & is dreseed in monastic garments.
# He is holding his right hand with the fingers extended & the palm turned outwards behind his right ears,
as if he was listening to the echoes of nature.
# His left hand holds a begging bowl.
# Milarappa is sometimes thought of as the first ordinary Tibetan to become a perfect Buddha in one lifetime.
