Teachings on Milarepa

Running time: 195 mins

Lama and director Neten Chokling's Milarepa: Magician, Murderer, Saint brings the tale of Tibet's greatest yogi to the big screen in a dramatic plot of greed, revenge, remorse?and awakening. Chokling hopes that his film of conscience for a troubled age will cause viewers to reflect. "If this film inspires just a single person to become more compassionate, tolerant, and patient towards others, I will be more than happy," he says.

Teachings on Milarepa makes a wonderful accompaniment to Milarepa: Magician, Murderer, Saint as Buddhist luminaries such as Khandro Rinpoche and Ani Pema Chodron give commentaries and insights about the great yogi's life. Ideally suited for Western viewers interested in knowing more about Milarepa's significance for Buddhism as a whole, these teachings also show how we can incorporate Milarepa's determination, honesty, clarity, and compassion into our lives.
