Description:
This extraordinary work is the life story of Milarepa -- the important Tibetan leader who lived 800 years ago. While there are many differences among the several sects of Tibetan Buddhism, each holds the Great Yogi Milarepa in the highest reverence and esteem. Here, readers also discover the teachings of the great yogis of India -- including those of Gautama the Buddha, the greatest yogi known to history. Amid his detailed introductory and explanatory notes for this text, Evans-Wentz also reveals compelling similarities between the life and thought of Milarepa and those of Mahatma Gandhi and "saints...in ancient China, or India, or Babylonia, or Egypt, or Rome, or in our own epoch". For this third edition, Donald S. Lopez, Jr. has written a critical foreword that updates and contextualizes this crucial part of Evans-Wentz's scholarship within the yoga traditional.
