For the purpose of cleansing Jetsun Milarepa of his obstructions, Marpa made him build a nine-story tower by himself. Sores formed on Milarepa’s back as a result, exposing his spine. When Marpa was conferring initiations on others, he would eject Milarepa from the rows of initiates.
On those occasions, Milarepa became so overwhelmed with despair that he thought, ‘May the ground open up and swallow me!’ However, Marpa’s only wish was to cleanse Milarepa of his karmic obstructions and he did not harbour the slightest selfish desire.

In addition, Telegram's architecture limits the ability to slow the spread of false information: the lack of a central public feed, and the fact that comments are easily disabled in channels, reduce the space for public pushback. Overall, extreme levels of fear in the market seems to have morphed into something more resembling concern. For example, the Cboe Volatility Index fell from its 2022 peak of 36, which it hit Monday, to around 30 on Friday, a sign of easing tensions. Meanwhile, while the price of WTI crude oil slipped from Sunday’s multiyear high $130 of barrel to $109 a pop. Markets have been expecting heavy restrictions on Russian oil, some of which the U.S. has already imposed, and that would reduce the global supply and bring about even more burdensome inflation. Although some channels have been removed, the curation process is considered opaque and insufficient by analysts. This ability to mix the public and the private, as well as the ability to use bots to engage with users has proved to be problematic. In early 2021, a database selling phone numbers pulled from Facebook was selling numbers for $20 per lookup. Similarly, security researchers found a network of deepfake bots on the platform that were generating images of people submitted by users to create non-consensual imagery, some of which involved children.
