Story of Milarepa

Tells the fascinating story of Milarepa – a singer of spiritual poems who roamed the Himalayas 900 years ago. Without using vaunted language, this true story takes the reader step by step through the stages of his incredible life. Milarepa was disinherited and impoverished as a child. As a young man, he ventured off on his own to master witchcraft. Later he met Marpa of the Kayu lineage, yet suffered incredible hardships with his guru. A large part of the text describes Milarepa's challenges, while being walled in to mountain caves for months at a time. His life exemplified overcoming immense challenges and realizing true spiritual enlightenment of the highest sort.
