Back Cover:
If you don’t understand that whatever appears is meditation, What can you achieve by applying an antidote? Perceptions are not abandoned by discarding them, But are spontaneously freed when recognized as illusory. —NIGUMA
The meditation practice known as mahamudra is regarded as one of the highest teachings of Tibetan Buddhism. Written in clear, concise language, A Lamp for the Mahamudra sheds light on the entire journey taken by the practitioner. In discussing the view, meditation, and conduct, the realization methods, the author presents such topics as the four main stages of meditation practice, common (“calm abiding”) and vipashyana (“clear seeing”), how to overcome some common obstacles to practice, and the need for devotion to the guru. The entire range of mahamudra practice is given here with the greatest economy and clarity, and it proceeds from beginning dharma practice to the experience of the ultimate wisdom. Included also are three songs (dohas) of realization by the author, which bring the teachings to life with poetic eloquence.
TSELÉ NATSOK RANGDROL was a prominent seventeenth-century master of the Kagyu and Nyingma lineages of Tibetan Buddhism. He is also the author of Mirror of Mindfulness, published by Shambhala Publications.
