The most beloved story of the Tibetan people, this biography can be read on several levels: a personal and moving introduction to Tibetan Buddhism; a profound guide in the search for consciousness, the tale of a life, tracing the path of a great sinner who became a great saint; and a powerful folk tale, full of magic, disaster, feuds, deceptions, and humor. Tibet's celebrated yogi and poet Jetsun Milarepa (1052-1135) is amajor figure in the history of the Kagyu school of Buddhism.  (TBT98, $16.00)
