In this specially produced companion DVD to Neten Chokling's Milarepa: Magician, Murderer, Saint, Buddhist luminaries such as Khandro Rinpoche and Ani Pema Chodron give commentaries and insights into Milarepa's life and its significance for modern spiritual practitioners. Ideally suited for Western viewers, these teachings show how we can incorporate Milarepa's example into our own lives.

With Khandro Rinpoche, Orgyen Tobgyal Rinpoche, Sogyal Rinpoche, Ani Pema Chodron, Lama Zopa Rinpoche, Arjia Rinpoche, and director Neten Chokling Rinpoche.

A true story based on centuries-old oral traditions, a youthful Milarepa is propelled into a world of sorrow and betrayal after his father's sudden death. Destitute and hopeless,he sets out to learn black magic - and exact revenge on his enemies - encountering magicians, demons, an enigmatic teacher and unexpected mystical power along the way. But it is in confrontation with the consequences of his anger that he learns the most.

Photographed in the stunning Lahaul-Spiti region of Northern India, Milarepa offers a provocative parallel to the cycle of violence and retribution we see consuming today's world.
