Description
This double DVD set features teachings given by Tai Situ Rinpoche at Sherab Ling in Baijnath, India on March 15, 2003. Mahamudra is he principle meditation of the Kagyu lineage. This is a meditaton of practitioners, not scholars or logicians. Briefly, it involves looking directly into the mind to understand the true nature of reality. Mahamudra meditation is particularly appropriate for modern students because this meditation does not require taking monastic ordination or doing extensive retreats. This form of meditation has come down to us from the Mahasiddhas of India who were carpenters, university professors, kings, fishermen, and common laborers. They practiced this meditation while having families and engaging in their daily work and were able to reach enlightenment with this meditation. These teachings were given by Situ Rinpoche during the week of his 50th birthday celebration. There is a second audio track on this DVD with a mandarin translation. Recorded and produced by Kunzang Productions. Single camera video.
