One day while catching some songbirds in the jungle, he met a yogin on his way into town to beg food. When the yogin saw him with his nets filled with tiny birds, the yogin asked why he was doing such a cruel thing. Godhuripa said \u201cI know it\u2019s wrong. I suppose the many evils of my past lives have forced me into this violent trade in order to live. I\u2019m ashamed of this miserable existence, but its all I know how to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In reply, the yogin said he\u2019s only making his karma worse by plying this trade. Depressed, Godhuripa sat down under a tree and began to weep. He then looked at the yogin and begged for help. He released the songbirds from his net, and the yogin granted him initiation through a transfer of grace. Then the guru instructed him in the meditation that concentrates all attention on one dominant image, and he was to visualize all the sounds in the world as his memory of birdsong, until sound and birdsong become one.<\/p>\n<p>Godhuripa meditated until all sound had become one sound, inseparable from emptiness. After 9 years, all the defilements of his perception vanished and he gained mahamudra-siddhi.<\/p>\n<p>He remained in the world for another 100 years working for all sentient beings, and then, with 300 disciples, he arose bodily into the Paradise of the Dakinis.<\/p>\n"},"caption":{"rendered":"<p>Mahasiddha Gorurapa<br \/>\nGodhuripa \/ Gorura \/ Vajura (bya ba):<br \/>\n\u201cThe Bird Man\u201d<br \/>\n\u201dThe Bird Catcher\u201d<\/p>\n"},"alt_text":"","media_type":"image","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","media_details":{"width":488,"height":640,"file":"2015\/04\/55Godhuripa.jpg","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"55Godhuripa-114x150.jpg","width":114,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.cintamani.com.br\/loja\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/55Godhuripa-150x197.jpg"},"medium":{"file":"55Godhuripa-229x300.jpg","width":229,"height":300,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.cintamani.com.br\/loja\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/55Godhuripa-300x393.jpg"},"full":{"file":"55Godhuripa.jpg","width":488,"height":640,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.cintamani.com.br\/loja\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/55Godhuripa.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]}},"post":3285,"source_url":"https:\/\/www.cintamani.com.br\/loja\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/55Godhuripa.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cintamani.com.br\/loja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3390","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cintamani.com.br\/loja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cintamani.com.br\/loja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/attachment"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cintamani.com.br\/loja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19560"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cintamani.com.br\/loja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3390"}],"wp:attached-to":[{"embeddable":true,"post_type":"post","id":3285,"href":"https:\/\/www.cintamani.com.br\/loja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
