Abstract
Tibetan Buddhist poet and anchorite Milarepa is as beloved by common folk and artisans throughout the Himalayas as Saint Francis of Assisi is by southern Europeans. Like pious Francis, Milarepa practiced what he taught, voicing his eleventh-century religious joy by spontaneously composing sacred songs that still resonate in and for our time. And like the Italian mystic, Milarepa has been acknowledged as a saint, although, as this now classic rendering by Garma Chang of The Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa suggests, his transcendent odes, canticles, litanies, and consecrations may remind today's readers of a modern example of the wandering bard: Walt Whitman.
