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.

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
