Mahamudra

How to Discover Our True Nature

De: Lama Thubten Yeshe

Narrado por: Robina Courtin

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, with subtle awareness, 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.

Thank you 🙏🏻

No Ryan, please don't (kill yourself) 🙏🏻. etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etcetera.

Clear and simple

I’ve read this book twice and plan on reading it several more times before the end of 2023. The book gives very clear and simple explanations on Mahamudra and how to engage in simple meditation techniques.

I would recommend having a teacher and an understanding of Lam Rim before attempting the meditation practices in this book. Since this is highest Tantra Yoga, an initiation by qualified tantric teacher should also be given.

What can be said?

I bow down. Beautiful. Wisdom in its purest. I am blessed to have heard this

Illuminating

You must read listen to this book multiple time, The narration took one listen to be appreciated, then you wouldn’t want a different narrator. The book is full of content, every word had value. The narrator brings it home in a very direct and concise form.
Worth listening to multiple times.
