The Life of Milarepa is one of the most beloved stories of the Tibetan people and a great literary example of the contemplative life. Jetsun Milarepa, the 11th-century Buddhist yogin and poet, started life as a black magician, gaining revenge for loss of heritage by casting terrible hailstorms and committing multiple murders.
Distraught with remorse, he sought to expiate his crimes and, with the fiercely compassionate help of his lama, Marpa, devoted himself to unremitting practice – meditation in caves, existing only on nettles and turning green as a result. And he gained liberation in one lifetime.

This life story of Milarepa-the important Tibetan religious leader who lived over 800 years ago-is part of a remarkable four-volume series on Tibetan Buddhism produced by the late W.Y. Evans-Wentz, all four of which are being published by Oxford in new editions. 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 we discover in these pages, are all of the teachings of the great yogis of India-including those of Gautama the Buddha, the greatest yogi known to history.
