Review
"The words of Dakpo Tashi Namgyal are unique. Adorned with plenty of pithy advice out of his personal experience, practitioners are greatly benefited by his instructions on how to remove hindrances and progress further. His methods for practicing Mahamudra are preeminent. This book is indispensable as it focuses exclusively on practice."

Stages of meditative maturation,

This review is from: Clarifying the Natural State: A Principal Guidance Manual for Mahamudra (Paperback)
This is one of the best step-by-step elucidations of the stages of unfolding rigpa, or "natural, timeless awareness," minus the usual obfuscating overhead of Tibetan/Buddhist trappings. Offers exceptional clarity in differentiating each stage from the next, and gives helpful markers to discern when you're there, and when you're not. Extremely helpful on the path!

Very good,
By Bindu Madhavan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Clarifying the Natural State: A Principal Guidance Manual for Mahamudra (Paperback)
This is a short effective book, with a good attempt at the pointing out instructions.If not treated as a "how-to" manual, it does a marvelous job of being a signpost of the "natural state." 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful

The Complete Mahamudra Practice Manual,
By John S. Klingler - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Clarifying the Natural State: A Principal Guidance Manual for Mahamudra (Paperback)
Clarifying the Natural State is the most complete practical guide to Mahamudra meditation I have ever seen.Mahamudra, the "Great Symbol", is a synonym for the fundamental nature of your mind as it is, without the dualistic conceptual overlay we habitually project onto our experience of existence. Mahamudra meditation relies solely on shamatha and vipashyana, calm abiding and insight. It is the highest and most profound form of meditation in Vajrayana Buddhism yet is absolutely simple. Its simplicity itself presents an obstacle for many of us because it is difficult to accept this as the ultimate form of meditation. Dakpo Tashi Namgyal is one of the most revered meditation masters in the Kagyu Buddhist lineage. In this book, he takes you step by step through the meditation techniques, devoid of theory. It is not a book to be read for intellectual edification, it is meant to be practiced. If you want to learn the theoretical basis of Mahamudra, read his book "Mahamudra, The Moonlight; Essence of Mind and Meditation". You will note that the left hand page holds Tibetan text. If you are fortunate enough to find a Rinpoche who will give you the "lung", reading transmission, he can do so directly from your copy of the book. Don't be shy to ask. |
