It is especially prominent in the Kagyü tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, so it sometimes comes as a surprise that mahamudra has played an important role in the Geluk school, where it is part of a special transmission received in a vision by the tradition's founder, Tsongkhapa. Mahamudra is a significant component of Geluk ritual and meditative life, widely studied and taught by contemporary masters such as the Dalai Lama.\u003cbr\u003e Roger Jackson's \u003ci\u003eMind Seeing Mind\u003c\/i\u003e offers us both a definitive scholarly study of the history, texts, and doctrines of Geluk mahamudra and masterful translations of its seminal texts. It provides a skillful survey of the Indian sources of the teaching, illuminates the place of mahamudra among Tibetan Buddhist schools, and details the history and major textual sources of Geluk mahamudra. Jackson also addresses critical questions, such as the relation between Geluk and Kagyü mahamudra, and places mahamudra in the context of contemporary religious studies. The translation portion of \u003ci\u003eMind Seeing Mind \u003c\/i\u003eincludes ten texts on mahamudra history, ritual, and practice. Among these are the First Panchen Lama's root verses and autocommentary on mahamudra meditation, his ritual masterpiece \u003ci\u003eOffering to the Guru\u003c\/i\u003e, and a selection of his songs of spiritual experience.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMind Seeing Mind\u003c\/i\u003e adds considerably to our understanding of Tibetan Buddhist spirituality and shows how mahamudra came to be woven throughout the fabric of the Geluk tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wisdom Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/29\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781614295778\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 752\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.40w x 2.40d","brand":"Roger R.
