Milarepa, the renowned Tibetan yogi, is not just a figure from the past but a beacon of wisdom and inspiration that continues to shine brightly even after centuries. His life and teachings are remembered through his joyful instructional songs and poetry. Christopher Stagg's new translation of The Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa and Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche's exploration of his life in Milarepa: Lessons from the Life & Songs of Tibet's Great Yogi, shed new light on his story, further deepening our understanding and respect for this great spiritual master.
Milarepa is celebrated for his incredible determination and personal growth. His inspiring story reflects the ordinary human journey from confusion to clarity. Early in his life, Milarepa experienced privilege and oppression. Despite being born into a wealthy family, the death of his father left him and his mother at the mercy of his aunt and uncle, who made them work as servants for their own families. At his mother's urging, Milarepa learned the art of black magic, a controversial practice in Tibetan culture, to seek revenge against their mistreatment. He mastered these magical abilities and utilized them to extinguish the lives of his aunt and uncle's entire family.
Consequently, Milarepa brought significant negative karma, a concept in Tibetan Buddhism that refers to the consequences of one's actions, into his life as a young adult. However, after committing these deeds, his initial joy at helping his mother became overwhelming remorse. This change prompted Milarepa to seek out a master teacher.
