In northern India, in 1998. Palden and Nyima, two young Tibetans in exile, find refuge in Chokling Monastery, where they will soon receive their ordination.

The two men embark on parallel, if separate, journeys. Their yearning is a common one--for a better and different life. Dondup, delayed by the timeless pace of his village, is forced to hitchhike through the beautiful wild country...

Milarepa is a tale of greed and vengeance - demons, magic, murder and redemption. It is the story of the man who became Tibet's greatest mystic.
