Description:Tibetan biographers began writing Jetsun Milarepa's (1052-1135) life story shortly after his death, initiating a literary tradition that turned the poet and saint into a model of virtuosic Buddhist practice throughout the Himalayan world. Andrew Quintman traces this history and its innovations in narrative and aesthetic representation across four centuries, culminating in a detailed analysis of the genre's most famous example, composed in 1488 by Tsangny�n Heruka, or the Madman of Western Tibet. Quintman imagines these works as a kind of physical body supplanting the yogin's corporeal relics.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
