Milarepa Books
- Milarepa : Lessons from the Life and Songs of Tibet’s Great Yogi - A renowned
meditation master 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
- The Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa: A New Translation - Powerful and deeply
inspiring, there is no book more beloved by Tibetans than The Hundred Thousand Songs, and no figure more revered than Milarepa, the great eleventh-century poet and saint.
- The Life of Milarepa - This biography, a true folk 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 profoundly detailed guidebook in the search for consciousness. It
presents the quest for spiritual perfection, tracing the path of a great sinner who became a great saint. But it is also a powerful and graphic folk tale, full of magic,
disaster, feuds, deceptions, and humor.
- Drinking the Mountain Stream - reveals Milarepa's humor and wisdom. Faithfully
translated by Lama Kunga Rinpoche and Brian Cutillo, this rare collection - never before available in any Western language - cuts across the centuries to bring Milarepa's most
inspiring verses, in all their potency, to today's reader.
