Beskrivning
The Yogi’s Joy presents a vivid and practical commentary on three songs of the great Tibetan yogi Milarepa, drawn from seminars given by Sangharakshita.Based on live teaching transcripts, the book retains a direct, conversational quality while opening up the depth of Milarepa’s poetic expression. These songs, rooted in the tradition of yogic realisation, explore both the outer hardships of solitary practice and the inner terrain of transformation.  Across three central narratives, the text explores key aspects of the spiritual path: confronting fear, letting go of ego-clinging, finding and relating to the sangha, and deepening trust in one’s own experience.  Milarepa’s encounters — with disciples, strangers, and even demons — are revealed as expressions of the mind itself, offering insight into the psychological and symbolic dimensions of Buddhist practice.  At its heart, The Yogi’s Joy shows how joy arises not from comfort, but from disciplined practice, devotion to the guru, and the gradual freeing of the mind from fear and self-centredness.Accessible yet profound, it is especially suited to readers engaged in ongoing practice who are looking to deepen their understanding of the Dharma through poetic and experiential teachings.

Sangharakshita (1925-2018) was a Buddhist teacher who spent nearly twenty years in India before returning to the United Kingdom and founding the Triratna Buddhist Order and Community (originally the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order). He was an important translator of Buddhism into western culture in the latter half of the 20th century.Born in London as Dennis Lingwood, he became a Buddhist monk in India in 1949. He studied with Buddhist teachers from Theravada, Chinese and Tibetan traditions, and from 1957 spent several months each year teaching the dalit Buddhist followers of Dr B.R. Ambedkar. In 1964 he returned to the UK and established the FWBO (now Triratna) in 1967, drawing on the riches of the entire Buddhist universe, as well as helpful aspects of Western cultural traditions.Sangharakshita was a prolific author, from his first major work A Survey of Buddhism (1957), to edited lectures and seminars, to a series of memoirs of his time in India and the West. His Complete Works have now been published in 27 volumes by Windhorse Publications. The Triratna Buddhist Order and Community is a thriving worldwide movement, in which his teachings continue to inspire practitioners new and old.
