Maggiori informazioni sul libro
This life story of Milarepa, a significant Tibetan religious leader from over 800 years ago, is part of a four-volume series on Tibetan Buddhism by W.Y. Evans-Wentz, now published by Oxford in new editions. Milarepa is revered across various Tibetan Buddhist sects, embodying the teachings of great yogis from India, including Gautama the Buddha. The text includes detailed notes from Evans-Wentz, highlighting striking parallels between Milarepa's life and the teachings of figures like Jesus and Gandhi, as well as saints from ancient civilizations. The translation from the original Tibetan was crafted by Lama Kazi Dawa-Samdup, Evans-Wentz's long-time guru, who aimed to present Milarepa authentically, incorporating his own words and those of his disciple Rechung. The third edition features a critical foreword by Donald S. Lopez, author of "Prisoners of Shangri-La: Tibetan Buddhism and the West," which contextualizes Evans-Wentz's scholarship within the broader yoga tradition. This work not only illuminates Milarepa's profound spiritual journey but also connects his experiences to universal themes found in various religious traditions.
