Review # 1 was written on 2013-12-19 00:00:00 H L Shields A most amazing story, of how a black magic practitioner and murderer became a living saint , or bodhisattva. Not by being good, but by being truly himself. Among Milarepa's many attributes ( such as living on a diet of nettles til his skin turned green!) the best is that instead of preaching he sang, thousands of beautiful, heartful songs the very tones of which changed reality. A deep spiritual read before sleep, for lovers of Tibetan Buddhist lore.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-11-30 00:00:00 Michel Cyr The first time that I read someting relating to Milarepa was in the novel The sea the sea by Iris Murdoch. A bit curious I tried to find something but that was hard at that time. Now that has changed and information can be found. I think that the book gives a good impression of the life of Milarepa.
