Marpa the Translator, the eleventh- century farmer, scholar, and teacher, is one of the most renowned saints in Tibetan Buddhist history. In the West, Marpa is best known through his teacher, the Indian yogin Naropa, and through his closest disciple, Milarepa. This lucid and moving translation of a text composed by the author of The Life of Milarepa The Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa documents the fascinating life of Marpa, who, unlike many other Tibetan master, was a layman, a skillful businessman who raised a family while training his disciples.
