The View of Mahamudra (MP3 CD)

Description

For anyone who is practicing Mahamudra or who has aspirations to practice Mahamudra, this teaching by The Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche on the View of Mahamudra is extraordinarily helpful. In these six talks, based on teachings by Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye in the Treasury of Knowledge, Rinpoche introduces Sutra, Tantra and Essence Mahamudra, and further explains Sutra and Essence Mahamudra from the perspective of ground, path and fruition. Rinpoche discusses the lineage of Mahamudra; the meaning and importance of devotion; the four causal conditions unique to the Essence Mahamudra practices; and how to meditate on Mahamudra, including the nine stages of shamatha meditation and eight points to meditate on in the Essence Mahamudra Path. This teaching is on the one hand thorough, detailed and academic. On the other hand, throughout these talks Rinpoche’s words arouse devotion and produce profound insight. No matter how long you have been practicing Mahamudra, you will find these talks delightful and inspiring. 6 talks on 1 MP3 CD.

Features

MP3CD Recordings
MP3CDs look like ordinary CDs, but contain compressed audio files. While a regular audio CD holds a maximum of only 80 minutes of recorded audio, an identical-looking MP3CD can easily hold the audio files from an entire weekend or even week-long teaching. MP3CDs can be played in a computer and/or the audio files can be downloaded into an iPod or similar device. MP3CDs may also be played on a portable MP3CD player. Most ordinary CD players, such as the CD player in most older cars (roughly 2005 and earlier), will not play MP3CDs. Many but not all cars 2006 or later do have MP3-capable CD players. Any car or home stereo CD player that is capable of playing an MP3CD will have “MP3” or “MP3-WMA” clearly marked on the front of it.
The MP3CDs available for sale on this web site are all clearly labeled and packaged in a clear case. The audio files on them have proper ID3 tag information, which means that on a computer, iPod or similar device the audio files will display (and can be searched by) Album (Title of teaching), Song (Talk number within a teaching) and Artist (Teacher).
