In this uniquely insightful overview and practice guide, Traleg Rinpoche 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 open light. 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.
The book includes an exploration of Mahamudra fundamentals and thorough explanation of Ground , Path, and Fruition Mahamudra, including meditation techniques for investigating, experiencing, and contemplating these teachings.
