Milarepa: Lessons from the Life and Songs of Tibet's Great Yogi

Renowned meditation master ChÃ¶gyam Trungpa retells the stories and realization songs of Tibet's best-known and most-beloved religious figure--and reveals how they relate to our everyday lives.

He went from being the worst kind of malevolent sorcererÂ to a devoted and ascetic BuddhistÂ practitionerÂ Â to a completely enlightened being allÂ in a single lifetime. The story ofÂ MilarepaÂ (1040â€“1123) is a tale of such extreme andÂ powerfulÂ transformationÂ that it might be thought not to have much direct application to our own lessÂ dramaticÂ livesâ€”butÂ ChÃ¶gyamÂ TrungpaÂ showsÂ otherwise.â€¯ This collection of his teachings on the life and songs of the great Tibetan Buddhist poet-saint reveals howÂ Milarepaâ€™sÂ difficulties can be a source of guidance and inspiration for anyone. His struggles, his awakening, and the teachings from his remarkable songs provide precious wisdom for all us practitionersÂ and show what devoted and diligentÂ practice can achieve.
