Mahamudra Aspiration of Rangjung Dorje

The path of Mahamudra is one of the most direct ways to realize the nature of our mind. Emphasizing contemplative practices based on meditation, our perception is transformed so that we can experience ourselves according to our true nature, ever present within us but covered by emotional and cognitive veils.

Prerequisite: Open to all who have received pointing-out the nature of mind instructions in the mahamudra or dzogchen tradition from a recognized vajrayana lineage holder.

The course will include seven lectures on consecutive Thurdays, starting April 21 at 7:00 pm Eastern, plus seven tutorials on the Monday following each class, staring April 25 at 7:00 pm Eastern.

Rangjung Dorje’s Mahamudra Aspiration is an extraordinarily pithy and comprehensive text. Not only does the text elucidate the ground, path, and fruition of mahamudra, but it contextualizes mahamudra practice within an understanding of the three yanas and of madhyamaka. For seasoned practitioners, the course will serve as a review and fresh reminder of the core principles of the path. For newer practitioners, the course will provide a very practical overview of the Kagyu and Nyingma vajrayana path, as well as a useful guide to further study.
