Translations:Milarepa/4/en

From TSL Encyclopedia

Tibetans universally revere Milarepa as a great Buddhist saint who became fully enlightened. The story of his life and path are recorded in a biography written by one of his disciples. In it, Milarepa recounts to his students the events of his life—from his practice of the black arts as a youth and his penance and probationary period under a Guru of the True Doctrine, to his initiation on the “Path of Light” and his practice of renunciation and meditation.[1]
