A Course Engaging the Mahamudra Teachings of Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche
Mondays, March 6 - May 8, 2023 / 7-9pm Mountain Time, Online on Zoom
Mahamudra is enlightenment itself as well as the extraordinary spiritual practices that offer direct access to that awakened state. The teachings of Mahamudra had their wellspring with completely enlightened Indian masters, then continued into Tibet with the forbearers of the Kagyu lineage, Marpa, Milarepa, Gampopa, the Karmapas, and so on. Each generation of practitioners has given fresh and powerful expression to Mahamudra. In our generation, Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche has been a superb lineage holder and teacher of Mahamudra.
This course will engage the remarkably lucid and accessible explication of Mahamudra by Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche in his book Mind at Ease: Self-Liberation Through Mahamudra Meditation. With his incisive insight into the Western mind and his consummate realization of Mahamudra, Traleg Rinpoche combines penetrating clarity in presenting the basic view of Mahamudra with highly practical mediations and contemplations to access its profound meaning. We will engage both of these in this course, combining the view of Mahamudra with its direct practice.
This course is a collaboration of Ri-mé Society and the Evam sangha of Traleg Rinpoche. We are delighted to join in exploring this seminal work on Mahamudra.
