Simply Beautiful. Here is some more...

Milarepa sang this song to Rechungpa when he was about to beat Dharlo. After hearing it, Rechungpa calmed down, so it is a very good song. It gives instructions on how to meditate on patience by remembering the profound view, how to meditate on patience by remembering the profound meditation, how to meditate on patience by remembering the profound conduct, and how to meditate on patience by remembering the profound fruition or result. Having heard the song, Rechungpa thought about the profound view, meditation, conduct, and fruition, and this helped him to practice patience. If you do not meditate on and practice patience, your view, meditation, conduct, and fruition may all be very profound, but they will still fall apart. But if you do meditate on patience, they will get better and better.
