| Mahamudra, the “great seal,” refers both to the ultimate nature of mind and reality, and to a meditative practice for realizing that ultimate reality. Part of a special transmission received by Je Tsongkhapa from Manjushri, it was passed down through Je Tsongkhapa’s lineage to the First Panchen Lama, Lobsang Chogyen, who captured these oral transmissions in his masterpiece, “The Main Path of the Conquerors: Root Stanzas on the Mahamudra According to the Precious Lineage of the Sacred Words of Geden Masters”, and its auto-commentary. |
| |
| Widely studied, taught and practiced by numerous great masters over the centuries, including His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, this method of Mahamudra practice approaches the view of reality through meditation. In this course, Geshe Lobsang will draw on the root text by Panchen Lama Lobsang Chogyen and its auto-commentary to introduce students to the theory and practice of Mahamudra. |
| |
| In addition to providing teachings over five Saturdays, there will be optional opportunities to join Geshe la for meditation practice and Q&A. |
| |
This Advanced Series course is recommended for students who have
completed Drepung Loseling Monastery’s Intermediate Series course
or have a foundation in Buddhist practice.
