An extraordinary book that deals with the development of Mahamudra in the Mahasiddha tradition.<\/p>\n
The Mahasiddha tradition existed in India alongside the Buddhist monastic tradition in the 3rd-13th centuries. The Mahasiddhas \"... broke with the conventions of Buddhist monastic life of the time and ... practiced ... in caves, forests and villages of northern India. \"1 Men as well as women from all sections of the population, including Brahmins and scholars, lived in this tradition.<\/p>\n
Although the Mahasiddha tradition was philosophically based on the Mahayana sutras, completely new methods of meditation and practice were developed. In this way, anyone could attain liberation from the cycle of rebirths - whether man or woman, monk or layperson - as every individual possesses the inner prerequisite for enlightenment. And disturbing emotions (kleshas) such as anger, jealousy etc. are not combated, but transformed through practice into wisdom knowledge, the realization of their true nature.<\/p>\n
The Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism traces its origins back to Buddha Shakyamuni through Marpa, the great translator. He traveled to India three times to bring authentic Buddhist teachings back to Tibet. Marpa's main teacher, the eminent scholar and Mahasiddha Naropa, received the lineage transmission from Tilopa and so on, all the way back to the Buddha.<\/p>\n
The Mahasiddhas and their Mahamudra teachings are thus one of the roots of the Karma Kagyu tradition. This book, which is available in two languages, is a valuable approach to studying and practicing Mahamudra at its sources, the Mahasiddha tradition.<\/p>\n
