-Descripción:

One of the most beloved stories of the Tibetan people and a great literary example of the contemplative life, The Life of Milarepa is a biography and a dramatic tale from a culture now in crisis. It can be read on several levels: as a personal and moving introduction to Tibetan Buddhism, as a detailed guide to the search for liberation, and as a narrative that presents a quest for purification and buddhahood in a single lifetime, tracing the path of a great sinner who became a great saint. The book is also a powerfully evocative narrative, full of magic, miracles, suspense, and humor, while reflecting the religious and social life of medieval Tibet. It is part of a series that represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines, providing authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
