Lama Yeshe tells us that mahamudra is “the universal reality of emptiness, of nonduality” and its unique characteristic is its emphasis on meditation: “With mahamudra meditation there is no doctrine, no theology, no philosophy, no God, no Buddha. Mahamudra is only experience.” As always, Lama Yeshe’s words are direct, funny, and incredibly encouraging. He gets us to go beyond ego’s addiction to a limited sense of self and to taste the lightness and expansiveness of our own true nature.

Gallileo, Copernicus, Newton, Niels Bohr, Einstein. Their insights shook our perception of who we are and where we stand in the world and in their wake have left an uneasy co-existence: science vs. religion, faith vs. empirical enquiry.

This work is a translation of three early Indian Vajrayana treatises from the Sanskrit by three of the early Buddhist Tantric adepts renowned as Mahasiddhas, numbering by the most accepted account eighty-four, who flourished in the medieval era of India from the 8th-12th centuries C.E. The three authors are related by guru-disciple lineal succession, though the first two Anangavajra and Indrabhuti were most likely contemporaries and the third, Laksimnkara was the sister of Indrabhuti and hence his contemporary also. The treatises expound the world-view of Tantric Buddhism, (a.k.a. as ...

But beneath the doctrines and rituals, there are shared ideas—universal principles of compassion, purpose, and understanding. This book isn’t ...
