About this ebook

Mahamudra, the highest level of teaching within Tibetan Buddhism, rewards study and practice with the realization of the very nature of mind itself. There is not a single experience which is not subsumed within the realizations of Mahamudra. On his first tour of the United States, His Holiness Chetsang Rinpoche gave detailed instructions in Mahamudra methods. He carefully explained each of the five stages of Mahamudra and taught its main meditational practices. He also gave precise instructions on posture and breathing for meditation, and answered many common questions using the teachings of Tilopa and Gampopa to illustrate his various points.

Ratings and reviews

Very well written! It gives the beginner as well as the experienced practitioner easy to follow instructions and explanations. This may be picky but I did not give 5 stars because it gives a good commentary on Tilopas "Ganges Mahamudra" but does not include it in the book. All in all I reccommend it to anyone interested in learning and practicing Mahamudra.
