The Mahamudra path of direct perception is the pre-eminent method
of the Dakpo Kagyu tradition. This definitive manual systematically
explains its approach to meditation, complete with definitions,
pointing-out instructions, and advice for the many pitfalls and
errors that beset practitioners. Central to these errors is our
failure to acknowledge the difference between understanding and
experience, and our tendency to fixate on meditative experiences
and mistake them for realisation. This translation conveys the
freshness and immediacy of these instructions. Belonging to the
generation of teachers to first bring Tibetan Buddhism across
cultures, Traleg Kyabgon (1955-2012) presents these Mahamudra
instructions in a direct, relaxed, and intimate style. His own
sense of certainty and his confidence that Westerners are unspoilt
enough to benefit from these direct teachings resonates on every
page. Traleg Kyabgon's mastery of the English language and his
insight into Western culture make for a very approachable
translation of this magnum opus of the Kagyu tradition.
For many centuries Indian and Tibetan Buddhists have employed this
collection of pithy, penetrating Dharma slogans to develop
compassion, equanimity, lovingkindness, and joy for others. Known
as the "lojong"--or mind-training--teachings, these slogans have
been the subject of deep study, contemplation, and commentary by
many great masters.
In this volume, Traleg Kyabgon offers a fresh translation of the
slogans as well as in-depth new commentary of each. After living
among and teaching Westerners for over twenty years, his approach
is uniquely insightful into the ways that the slogans could be
misunderstood or misinterpreted within our culture. Here, he
presents a refreshing and clarifying view, which seeks to correct
points of confusion.
