This movie is available as a DVD or to rent on Netflix now. I had heard about it from either the producer or director through an email but hadn't been able to see the movie yet.
If you go to wikipedia and type in "milarepa". It will give you what would be helpful or to another website on Milarepa. Unless you have studied Tibetan Buddhism and Tibetan Culture by meeting people who grew up in Tibet like I have it might be difficult to understand everything that is happening in the movie and to make full sense of it.
Tibetans understand what I would like to call "Spiritual Technology" for lack of a better word. However, the use of "Spiritual Technology" without compassion for all life in the universe is at the very least a pathway to insanity, if not a death sentence. So, using "Spiritual technology" and surviving it one must have already have developed compassion for all life in the universe or else it will backfire and kill that person and possibly all they hold near and dear.
Milarepa, is the most Beloved Saint of Tibetans simply because he became a sorcerer and killed his relatives on behalf of his mother who asked him to and then felt remorse and then studied and became Tibet's best loved Saint.
The moral of Milarepa's life is: "No matter what bad thing you do it is possible for redemption in one lifetime."
It is something to think about for all of us!
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
