A book that established Tibetan Buddhism in the West Jeff Shear Garma C.C. Chang, the translator of these songs, single-handedly preserved this book for the West, for it surely would have disappeared, overlooked by religious popularizers. The degree, Cha Gyur Khan-po, 'professor of translation,' was conferred upon the late Professor Chen-Chi Chang by his guru, a living Buddha, Kong Ka Lama, at the Kong Ka Monestary at Meia Nya, Tibet. The monastery is of the Kargyutpa School, which descended directly from Milarepa's line of gurus. C.C. Chang was more than a translator, however. He was among the greatest Buddhist scholars and teachers of the twentieth century. His studies of bo. "life changing reading" according to Thor Furbeck. This book almost single handedly converted me to Buddhism.Milarepa's songs are some of the most inspirational andeducational scriptures the human race has produced. More thangreat, this book is a lifelong treasure. It's also very fun reading as well as profound. Dont hesitate fora second. Buy it, read it all, learn and enjoy.. R. Tracy Macnab said One of the world's great religious texts. This classic, originally a collection of folk narratives, is the myth and history of one of Tibet's legendary reclusive saints. The translation has a fluid and musical quality, and is easily accessible to the contemporary reader. There is much material here to fuel contemplation, particularly the stories concerning the courage to face inner fears and temptations. Meditators and followers of all spiritual paths will find the book most useful, but it is engrossing enough as a folk tale to keep anyone's attention. It is my personal favorite among the world's bibles, and I am delighted to see it reissued.
