Mahamudra: The Moonlight

Mahamudra: The Moonlight -- Quintessence of Mind and Meditation
When Mahamudra first appeared in 1986, it was a landmark in the history of Buddhist publishing in English. It was translated at the behest of the 16th Karmapa, who was asked what text would be most beneficial to Western practitioners. Collecting all of Mahamudra's key texts in one volume, the book is a staple for practitioners of the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism, who appreciate its detailed theoretical and practical explanations. This stunning new edition, printed on fine paper, is as inspiring to behold as it is to read.

Mahamudra Teachings of the Supreme Siddhas

Reveals powerful mahamudra practices for realizing the mind's fundamental nature. The advice and instructions on the ground, path, fruition, view, meditation and action of mahamudra are both complete and beautiful.

"All students of the Kagyu traditions are familiar with Karmapa III Rangjung Dorje's beautiful prayer, known as the Aspiration of Mahamudra, recited daily in countless Tibetan temples, retreats and homes. Lama Sherab Dorje offers an accurate and highly readable translation of this masterwork that is to be read with profit both by those who wish to learn something about the system of Mahamudra and by those practicing within the tradition--it deserves to be studied until the intentions of the author have become fully integrated with one's own meditations."

Pointing Out the Great Way

Pointing Out the Great Way
The Stages of Meditation in the Mahamudra Tradition

Mahamudra is the pinnacle of practice in the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism and this book is a timely examination of a subject of which there has been little published in easily accessible formats. Closely following core commentaries of the Kagyu Mahamudra lineage, the author has written a detailed manual of the meditation process and the mental states it produces. This book is different in the systematic way it draws from a variety of sources to construct a complete, graded path of practice informed by an understanding of the particular obstacles faced by meditators in the West. It attempts to capture the inner experience of the stages of mahamudra meditation in sufficient detail to convey its richness. Brown describes mahamudra from the perspective of the gradual path. The gradual path is a progressive process of training that is often contrasted to sudden realization. There are step-by-step descriptions of the ways to practice, precise descriptions of the various stages and their intended realizations, and the typical problems that arise along with their remedies. Simply put, mahamudra meditation involves penetrative focus, free of conceptual elaboration, upon the very nature of conscious awareness.

Mahamudra The quintessence of Mind and Meditation

Mahamudra The quintessence of Mind and Meditation
Mahamudra is the first English translation of a major Tibetan Buddhist presentation of the theory and practice of meditation-a manual detailing the various stages and practices for training the advanced students. The original Tibetan text of nearly 800 pages was composed by Takpo Tashi Namgyal (1512-87), a great lama and a scholar of the Kagyu sect of Tibetan Buddhism.

Spacious Path to Freedom

Spacious Path to Freedom
Practical Instructions on the Union of Mahamudra and Atiyoga

Karma Chagme was a major lineage-holder of the Karma Kagyu tradition, but his writings have also become central to the Payul Nyingma order, making him an ideal figure to show how the two great meditation systems of Mahamudra and Dzogchen can be integrated into a single, unified approach to realising the ultimate nature of consciousness. He sets forth the stages of meditation practice including the cultivation of meditative quiescence and insight, the experiential identification of awareness, and the highest steps of Mahamudra and Atiyoga, or Dzogchen leading to perfect enlightenment in one lifetime. The Nyingma lama Gyatrul Rinpoche`s commentary elucidates this profound text.
