A Buddhist holy man whose songs have been sung and studied since the 12th century, Milarepa exchanged a life of sin and maliciousness for one of contemplation and love, eventually reaching — according to his disciples — the ultimate state of enlightenment. This volume features the religious leader's best and most highly esteemed songs of love and compassion.
Customer Reviews
Tough to follow but somewhat interesting., 2008-02-26 I love poetry but this book is tough to follow. I think you need a strong backgorund in the culture in order to follow it well. That said however, it had bright spots and at times it was a good read.
