Milarepa Part 1 - His Life

From Bristol Buddhist Centre on Thu, 10 Nov, 2016 - 00:00
Milarepa, the 11th century Tibetan Yogi lived alone in the mountains. He has become a paradigm of the solitary hermit. How can he possibly be of interest to us busy Westerners? In these two talks Manjuvajrawill explore his life and teachings, and draw out the crucial importance of his message to us here and now. We live in a world dominated by greed and anxiety where there is some pleasure but little happiness. Milarepa lived a simple life supported by great spiritual riches and sang of his supreme happiness. How can we taste his freedom and joy?
