hi steve et al
you might also like to try a newer translation of 2 volumes of mila's
songs - 'miraculous journey' and drinking the mountain stream' translated by
lama kunga rinpoche and brian cutillo. garma c chang was an early pioneer
in translation and his versions, while poetic, have errors which the more
recent works have corrected. (i say this with great authority as though i
know it for myself - i don't, of course - it's just what others have told
me!)

i hope you are all well and happy. we had the first meeting of the somerset
bbg yesterday - it went very well - lots of enthusiasm and good will. and
there was some nice synchronicity - a full moon, and people meeting for the
first time and finding all sorts of connections with each other etc - as the
tibetans would say, good ten-drel.

love

Hi Margaret

Many thanks for your message about the songs of Milarepa.

The book is entitled The Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa and is
translated and annotated by Garma C C Chang. I got the book via Amazon,
it is one of those strange stores where they purchase the book on your
behalf. It was relatively expensive at £24ish, but if I had to go
on 'Desert Island Book' I can assure you that this book would be my
choice. It is filled with 675 pages of inspiring, exciting, beautiful
and thoughtful words.

Steve
