Practice of Mahamudra, The

Mahamudra represents the highest level of teaching within Tibetan Buddhism. Its study and practice leads to the realization of the very nature of reality itself--there is not a single phenomenon which is not subsumed within the realizations of Mahamudra. In l994, His Holiness Chetsang Rinpoche toured the USA and gave detailed instructions in Mahamudra methods based on the ancient traditions of Tibet and India. He carefully explained each of the five stages of Mahamudra and taught many meditation practices. He also gave precise instruction on meditative posture and breathing and responded with helpful answers to students' questions using the teachings of Tilopa and Gampopa to illustrate various points. The Practice of Mahamudra is the clearest presentation of Mahamudra meditation practice available.
