There is a new movie coming out - "Milarepa" is a sort of "Batman Begins" version of the early life of renowned Tibetan saint Jetsun Milarepa (1052-1135). A follow-up film, which is due out in 2009, will cover the magical deeds and great powers of the legendary yogi and poet, who achieved enlightenment in midlife and blended Buddhism with sorcery according to the story.
For now, let us know that , "Milarepa" concerns the religious figure's hardscrabble origins, when he was a young man named Mila Thopaga (Jamyang Lodro). In this visually spectacular film shot near Tibet's border with India, "Milarepa" focuses on the misfortunes of Thopaga's family after the death of his wealthy father.
Let us discuss this further in Satsang.
