Milarepa, a cotton-clad yogi, wandered and taught the dharma, most
famously through spontaneously composed songs, a colorful and
down-to-earth way to convey the immediacy and depth of the Buddhist
teachings. In this work, the songs are woven into a narrative that
tells the stories of his most famous encounters with his students,
including Gampopa and Rechungpa, and recount his victories over
supernatural forces in the remote Himalayan mountains and caves
where he meditated.

In this authoritative new translation, prepared under the guidance
of Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, Christopher Stagg brilliantly brings
to life the teachings of this extraordinary man. This classic of
world literature is important for its narrative alone but is also a
key contribution for those who seek inspiration for the spiritual
path.
