Abstract: Milarepa is a Tibetan Siddha who was famous for his legendary revenge story as a youth and for becoming a Buddhist later in his life. He is also one of the most influential Yogis of Tibet. This research focuses on his footpath throughout his life based on two books—the Life of Milarepa and The Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa. The first one is a biography written by TsangnyönHeruka (1452–1507) in the 15th century, and the second book is a collection of Milarepa’s poets. This research follows the steps of Milarepa to reconstruct the role model’s life path when he was alive and analyze sentiments related to the geographic locations.
