Description
The Life Story of Tibet's Great Yogi, Milarepa This biography of Milarepa, a renowned Tibetan religious leader, offers a unique glimpse into the life of one of the most revered figures in Tibetan Buddhism. The teachings of the great yogis of India, including the Buddha, are exemplified in Milarepa's life, making him a fascinating subject for study. Translated from the original Tibetan, this text reveals compelling similarities between Milarepa's life and thought and those of influential figures from other cultures and traditions. The late Lāma Kazi Dawa-Samdup's translation, with its focus on the words of Milarepa's own mouth and those of his disciple Rechung, provides a personal and intimate look at the life of this remarkable individual. A new foreword by Donald S. Lopez, Jr, updates and contextualizes this crucial part of the scholarship within the yoga tradition, providing a valuable framework for understanding the significance of Milarepa's story.
