Mahamudra Tantra: The Supreme Heart Jewel Nectar Paperback – October 1, 2005

by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso (Author)
4.2 out of 5 stars 33 ratings

Mahamudra is the union of the most subtle mind that experiences great bliss and realizes ultimate truth―the way things actually exist. From his practical experience, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso explains how to prepare our mind for Mahamudra meditation, how to remove obstacles to successful practice, and how we can experience progressively subtler states of mind. By explaining how to uncover and purify the deepest level of our mind and to use this very subtle blissful mind to meditate on ultimate truth, he shows how we can destroy all our negative minds at their very root and quickly reach the state of full enlightenment.

Review

Mahamudra Tantra offers insightful, specific mind-training tools and discusses key Buddhist concepts.--Brita Adkinson, National Review Network

From the Inside Flap

An introduction to meditation on Tantra. Tantra is very popular, but not many people understand its real meaning. This book explains how we can attain the sublime union of bliss and emptiness, known as Mahamudra, which is the very essence of Buddhist Tantric meditation.

Geshe Kelsang Gyatso is a fully accomplished meditation master and internationally renowned teacher of Buddhism. Geshe-la, as he is affectionately called by his students, is primarily responsible for the worldwide revival of Kadampa Buddhism in our time.

From the age of eight Geshe-la studied extensively in the great monastic universities of Tibet and earned the title "Geshe," which literally means "spiritual friend." Under the guidance of his Spiritual Guide, Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche, he then spent the next eighteen years in meditation retreats in the Himalayas.

In 1977 he accepted an invitation to teach at Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre in England, where he has lived and taught, giving teachings and guidance to an ever-growing group of students.

Geshe-la has often given teachings and empowerments at the International Kadampa Festivals attended by thousands of people from all over the world.

Geshe-la has established three unique study programs and 1200 centers and groups around the world, trained hundreds of qualified Teachers and a flourishing ordained community, and created a project to build Buddhist Temples in every major city in the world.

In his teachings Geshe Kelsang Gyatso emphasizes the importance of meditation and how to apply it in daily life. He reveals practical methods for developing wisdom, cultivating a good heart, and maintaining a peaceful mind through which we can all find true and lasting happiness. Demonstrating these qualities perfectly in his own life, Geshe-la has dedicated his whole life to helping others find inner peace and happiness.

    5.0 out of 5 stars AN INCREDIBLE INTRODUCTION TO TANTRA: THE QUICK PATH TO ENLIGHTENMENT
    Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2006
    Verified Purchase
    Geshe Kelsang Gyatso's exquisite book Mahamudra Tantra, is a practical guide to discovering the real meaning of human life. Mahamudra Tantra is a quick method for attaining elightenment, a state of existence that is free from suffering, and the instructions for qualified Tantric practice are extremely profound. Geshe Kelsang Gyatso explains them in such a clear manner, that those who have never heard of the word Tantra before picking up this book, will have an immediate understanding of what Tantra is, and why developing a strong foundation of basic correct view and good intention is essential.

    Geshe Kelsang Gyatso dispells many of the myths and confusion associated with Tantra, and explains the real meaning of Tantra, how to transform our attachment into the spiritual path. He gives a very specific definition of Tantra: an inner realization that functions to prevent ordinary appearances and conceptions and to accomplish the four complete purities (pure environment, body, enjoyments and activities.)

    I found these instructions so helpful living in today's modern world. It seems to be so easy to get sucked into all the distractions of daily life, and this book presents a methodology that allows us to have a pure and more meaningful experience of the world while still engaging in our normal, everyday activities like going to work, being in a relationship, spending time with family etc..

    I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in gaining a deep, profound experience of meditation and learning more about Tantra, what it is, and why it is the quick path to enlightenment.

    This book proved an invaluable tool for me while recently attending a 14 day Mahamudra retreat given by Gen Tharchin, one of the author's first western students, having studied under Geshe-la for 35 years.

    The power of the written instructions when combined with a qualified Mahamudra master can bring immeasurable benefit to the practitioner.

    Another remarkable book by a true Vajra Master. My advice would be to read it and make up your own mind. Unlike others who are suggesting you avoid it - unlike they did of course!?! Please be grown up and come to your own conclusions and don't be swayed by confused minds that are set on bitching about others....very sad and an even sadder reflection of their own practice.
