MAHAMUDRA: The Moonlight--Quintessence of Mind and Meditationby Dakpo Tashi Namgyal, translated by Lobsang P. Lhalungpa, foreword by H.H. the Dalai LamaThere are many books now available on Mahamudra meditation in English, but this one is the most comprehensive traditional guide to the Kagyu practice available in English. When ''Mahamudra'' first appeared in 1986, it was a major landmark in the history of Buddhist publishing in English, and it retains today a unique status in Buddhist literature. It was translated at the behest of the 16th Karmapa, who was asked what text would be most beneficial to Western practitioners if it were made available in English. The task was undertaken by Lobsang Lhalungpa, translator of the best-selling Life of Milarepa, with the assistance of Dezhung Rinpoche, legendary mentor of many of today's greatest Tibetan and Western scholars. This new edition has a new foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. There is no similarly exhaustive work available on the subject of Mahamudra meditation, the preeminent practice of the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism, and thus the book is a staple for practitioners of that school, who appreciate its detailed practical explanations. A gorgeous new edition of a classic, Mahamudra is one of the most exhaustive works available on mahamudra meditation available in English. The volume is enhanced by a new foreword by the Dalai Lama and premium production values. "I am so delighted that this text is being published in the English language. It will greatly benefit English speaking students of Buddhism. I myself have used this text in working with my students, and I have always found that it communicates, clearly and simply, the mahamudra teachings of the Practice Lineage."--Chogyam Trungpa | |
