Books of Milarepa

  • Milarepa : Lessons from the Life and Songs of Tibet’s Great Yogi - Like most of Trungpa Rinpoche’s books, this book is based on oral teachings given in the context of meditation retreats called ITS’s or Intensive Training Seminars. Trungpa Rinpoche takes the reader through the importance of Hinayana, Mahayana, Vajrayana, and the experience of Mahamudra meditation.
  • The Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa: A New Translation - An authoritative new translation of the complete Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa, the teaching songs and stories from Tibet's most beloved Buddhist yogi, poet, and saint.
  • The Life of Milarepa - a biography and a dramatic tale from a culture now in crisis, can be read 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.
