Description
This mahamudra teaching is both profound and visually beautiful. In these five talks, recorded at KTD Monastery in 2004 and recently edited by Peter Elias for Vajra Echoes, The Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche provides teachings based on his book, "Wild Awakening, The Heart of Mahamudra and Dzogchen", published by Shambhala (2003). With humor and insight, Rinpoche begins by explaining the meaning of Wild Awakening. He discusses our motivation to practice and presents the view of mahamudra as well as the role the guru/student relationship plays in moving us along the path to enlightenment. Rinpoche then teaches the essence of mahamudra meditation -- resting in the true nature of mind by looking nakedly, resting naturally, and relaxing at ease. Rinpoche presents a series of three mahamudra shamatha practices drawn from a short mahamudra meditation manual by the omniscient Padma Karpo, a mahasiddha from the Drukpa Kagyu tradition. These talks include several mahamudra practice sessions with Rinpoche as well as stories, analogies and mahamudra songs of realization. In talks three and five Rinpoche provides extensive opportunities for students to ask questions. This is a truly delightful teaching with a great deal to offer for practitioners at every level of practice. Taught in English with translation assistance provided by Lama Yeshe Gyamtso. Five talks on five DVD's.
