07 The Transference of Consciousness

Marpa demonstrates his mastery of transference of consciousness by entering the bodies of a dead pigeon, a lamb, a deer, and a yak. These miracles inspire faith in many, including his skeptical brother Chowo and the slanderer Marpa Cha-se. Marpa sings songs explaining that secret mantra practitioners bring sense pleasures to the path rather than abandoning them. He attains renown as an undisputed siddha and transmits the profound instructions on transference to his son Tarma Dode.
