This is the continuing story of Milarepa and his disciple
Rechungpa, first encountered in volume 18 of the Complete Works. As
portrayed in The Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa, Rechungpa is a
promising disciple, but he has a lot to learn, being sometimes
proud, distracted, anxious, desirous of comfort and praise,
over-attached to book learning, stubborn, sulky and liable to go to
extremes. In other words, he is very human, and surely recognizable
to anyone who has embarked on the spiritual path. He all too often
takes his teacher's advice the wrong way, or simply ignores it, and
it takes all of Milarepa's skill, compassion and patience to keep
their relationship intact and help his unruly disciple to stay on
the path to Enlightenment. In the story that begins this volume,
matters come to a head when Milarepa burns the books that Rechungpa
went all the way to India to acquire, but by the end of the volume,
Rechungpa is able to set out on his own mission to teach the
Dharma. Much happens in between. Sangharakshita's commentary, based
on seminars given in the late 1970s and early 1980s, draws from the
stories of Milarepa and his wayward disciple much valuable advice
for any would-be spiritual practitioner.
