The Live of Milarepa is the most beloved story of the Tibetan people and one of the greatest source books for the comtemplative live in all of world literature. This biography, a true folk tale from a culture now in crisis, can be read on several levels: a personal and moving introduction to Tibetan Buddhism, and also a profoundly detailed guidebook in the search for higher consciousness. It presents the quest for spiritual perfection, tracing the path of a great sinner who became a great saint. But it is also a powerful and graphic folk take, full of magic, disaster, feuds, deceptions and humor.
This definitive translation, originally published in 1977, was the first to appear in any Western language in half a century and renders this classic of spiritual liberation into a simple modern English that expresses the direct power of the original.
