摘要
At the heart of successful Mahamudra practice is the ability to get directly at the nature of mind. The 9th Karmapa was the acknowledged master of this approach. No more authoritative instructions exist than the 3 texts he wrote. This easy-to-use, practical manual, which serves also as an indispensable companion to The Ocean of Definitive Meaning, the most detailed of his texts, is so clearly laid out that the instructions are easy to recall and put to use.
Brilliant explanations by K.Thrangu Rinpoche, tutor of the young 17th Karmapa, make the text vividly relevant for contemporary Western practitioners. From the 17th Karmapa's tutor, a pithy distillation of the 9th Karmapa's Mahamudra manual. Its emphasis on the arousing of bodhicitta makes this an indispensable companion to Rinpoche's The 9th Karmapa's Ocean of Definitive Meaning.
