The Hundred Thousand Songs: Selections from Milarepa Poet-Saint of Tibet
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. This volume describes his life in the solitude of mountain glaciers, his yogic attainments in self-discipline, his encounters with demons who try to obstruct his meditations and his arrival at enlightenment and spiritual freedom.
