Description

Tibet's poet saint, Milarepa roamed the northern slopes of the Himalayas 900 years ago. Ten years ago, a movie was made of his life, but it only covered the early stages. This book not only adheres to the amazing episodes of his earlier years, but goes on to detail the fascinating events in the latter part of his illustrious life. Among other things, Milarepa is probably the world's most extreme faster (three years with no food), and he took the concept of spiritual seclusion to the extreme. This biography sticks closely to the earlier Tibetan translation by Lobsang P. Lhalungpa, yet it clarifies some items, and offers some historical perspective - in regard to the earlier lineage of gurus which preceded Marpa the Translator, who was Milarepa's guru - a.k.a. the founders of the Kagyu lineage, which is one of the four incarnate lineages within Tibetan Buddhism. Another is the Nyingma lineage, from which the present-day Dalai Lama is descendant.
