The Yogi’s Joy: Songs of Milarepa (eBook)
Milarepa was a Tibetan yogi, poet, and teacher of the Kagyu Tibetan tradition. The much-loved ‘hundred thousand songs’ attributed to him have inspired and guided Buddhist practitioners for centuries; yet explorations of their true significance are few. In The Yogi’s Joy, Sangharakshita explores some of the songs, drawing out the lessons for us today who live under very different conditions. Themes covered include: dealing with fear, the importance of honesty, self-respect, practising with others, the student-teacher relationship, and how we can make Dharma teachings our own. We are shown the delight, the joy – and the challenges – of these revolutionary Dharma teachings
