Milarepa :

Milarepa was Tibet's most beloved yogin and poet, whose famous biography and collection of songs have served as a constant source of inspiration for all schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Under the guidance of his guru, Marpa, he underwent great penance for his early misdeeds. Clad only in a cotton robe, and living for a long time on nettles, he meditated for years in remote mountain caves until his ultimate enlightenment.
