About This Item
Boston: Shambhala, 1989. Moisture damage to jacket and, very mildly, to covers and end papers; Jacket somewhat rippled, no other external sign of damage; Verso of jacket stained, cloth and end papers slightly stained; Contents very good.. Translated and annotated by Garma C.C. Chang; xvii, 752 pages. Tibetans accord The Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa a classic status comparable to that of the Mahabharata and the Bible, and revere its author as probably the best single exemplar of the religious life. Milarepa was an eleventh-century Buddhist poet and saint, a cotton-clad yogi who avoided the scholarly institutions of his time and wandered from village to village, teaching enlightenment and the path to Buddhahood through his spontaneously composed songs. Wherever he went, crowds of people gathered to hear his sweet sounding voice "singing the Dharma.
