Mahamudra e-bog

Relish these direct, experiential meditation instructions from the author of the bestselling Introduction to Tantra.Lama Yeshe tells us that mahamudra is ';the universal reality of emptiness, of nonduality' and its unique characteristic is its emphasis on meditation: ';With mahamudra meditation there is no doctrine, no theology, no philosophy, no God, no Buddha. Mahamudra is only experience.' He relies on the First Panchen Lama's well-known Root Text of Genden Mahamudra, which in a few short pages provides the pith instructions for, first, overcoming distraction and resting in meditative stillness on the clarity of one's own mind, and then by using a subtle wisdom, penetrating its ultimate nature, its emptiness. As always, Lama Yeshe's words are direct, funny, and incredibly encouraging. He gets us to go beyond ego's addiction to a limited sense of self and to taste the lightness and expansiveness of our own true nature.
