Description
Woodblock printing continued to persist in Asia through the 19th century. This pecha contains The Life of Milarepa, a biography originally composed by Tsangnyön Heruka circa 1488. Widely republished over the course of centuries, it remains among the most popular pieces of Tibetan literature in print. This undated edition was likely cut in Mongolia in the 18th or 19th century. The text was likely produced at the monastery where the book’s colophon was written: Püntsok Chöding Ling.
