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.

I'm a combat veteran and a Buddhist, and I have endeavored in reconciling the two for years. I have heard of Milarepa along the way but found nothing truly definitive about his life until now. Milarepa going from murderer to a fully realized Buddha in one lifetime is exactly what I needed to hear at this point in my life. His relationship with Marpa is humorous and gives a different perspective of compassion. Well done. Thank you!

I just finished the audio version and the physical version of this OUTSTANDING work.
In my studies of Buddhism and as a Buddhist, I found that this book is so often referred to and I had it for a long time on my “to read” list.
So glad I finally did.
I so highly recommend listening, it is BEAUTIFUL.
This is all I have to say.
Now all of you who are interested in Buddhism do not miss this great work.
The narrator, mr. Lee Osorio, does an excellent job.
My thanks to all involved, JK
