<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A detailed introduction to the Tibetan Buddhist practice of Mahamudra meditation as a means of alleviating suffering and seeing the true beauty of the world<br> </b><br> In this uniquely insightful overview and practice guide, Traleg Kyabgon presents a thorough introduction to the Kagyu lineage's Mahamudra tradition. The author's approach is straightforward--he presents the Mahamudra teachings as a means of seeing things in, as he says, "a positive and open light." <p/> Even things we might normally regard as bad and undesirable can be interpreted in a more uplifting way due to the expansiveness of the Mahamudra vision. Mahamudra--which means "great seal" or "great symbol," referring to the symbol or mark of ultimate reality, or emptiness--points to the true nature of mind as well as the ultimate insubstantiality of all things. <p/> The book includes an exploration of Mahamudra fundamentals and thorough explanations of Ground, Path, and Fruition Mahamudra, including meditation techniques for investigating, experiencing, and contemplating these teachings.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Traleg Kyabgon is exceptionally learned and has undergone extensive training in both Buddhist studies and contemporary mind sciences.
