While there are many parochial differences among the several sects of Tibetan Buddhism, each holds the Great Yogi Milarepa in the highest reverence and esteem. For exemplified in Milarepa's life, as the reader will discover in these pages, are all of the teachings of the great yogis of India.
With detailed introductory and explanatory notes, the late Dr. Evans-Wentz examines the life of Milarepa, the important Tibetan religious leader of more than 800 years ago. For this third edition, Donald S. Lopez, Jr., writes a critical Foreword that updates and puts in context Evan-Wentz's scholarship within the yoga traditions. 5 halftones.
