Publisher's Summary
One of the most beloved stories of the Tibetan people and a great literary example of the contemplative life
The Life of Milarepa, a biography and a dramatic tale from a culture now in crisis, can be explored on several levels. A personal and moving introduction to Tibetan Buddhism, it is also a detailed guide to the search for liberation. It presents a quest for purification and buddhahood in a single lifetime, tracing the path of a great sinner who became a great saint. It is also a powerfully evocative narrative, full of magic, miracles, suspense, and humor, while reflecting the religious and social life of medieval Tibet.

Wonderful reading
The team behind this book have really done all they could to make this translation understandable and it was superb to listen to. I really enjoyed it at first. Unfortunately I find such texts can be so repetitive in nature that I lost interest after a while, which is more about me than the book. I'm very grateful to have been able to listen to this book, I probably wouldn't have finished if I'd tried to to read it.
