We will be reading Lama Yeshe’s ‘Mahamudra: How to Discover Our True Nature’ next in our Literature Circle. Everyone is welcome. This group discussion is led by Dave Gould online.
Please register to attend on Zoom.
Lama Yeshe played a crucial role in introducing Tibetan Buddhism to the modern world and founded, along with Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche, the FPMT in the process. Lama Yeshe could communicate deep truths in a down-to-earth, humorous, clear, and direct way. Join us as we explore the teachings of this great master
In ‘Mahamudra: How to Discover Our True Nature’, Lama Yeshe gives a commentary on the First Panchen Lama’s well-known Root Text of Mahamudra, a concise set of instructions for, overcoming distraction to rest in the meditative stillness of the clarity of one’s own mind, and based on this subtle awareness, penetrating the mind’s ultimate nature, its lack of inherent existence.
It is Lama Yeshe’s unique genius to be able to render difficult matters in simple, joyous, and encouraging language. He gets us to go beyond ego’s addiction fixated on a limited sense of self, to taste the lightness and expansiveness of our own true nature.
You can purchase the e-book or physical book from the publisher or from a bookseller such as Amazon.ca.
