Liberate the Mind with Vipashyana (Vipassana) Mahamudra Meditation A How to w Ven Zasep Rinpoche

Описание: In a short 20 minute teaching — followed by a brief guided meditation — Venerable Zasep Rinpoche introduces and clarifies the complex concepts of Vipashyana Mahamudra (Vipassana in Pali): literally: "liberating the mind."

Practices include;
-mind observing the mind
-mind as object
mind as subject
mind as object
"I" as subject.

Although the teaching is an advanced topic, Rinpoche helps clarify a subject that sometimes baffles students.

The Meaning of Mahamudra: "Maha" means "great" and "Mu" means "Emptiness"; "Dra" means "Liberating." Literally: "When you experience shunyata — emptiness — then your mind will be liberated."

Quoting from numerous texts, and eloquently illustrating with examples, Rinpoche helps spark at least an initial understanding of concept — then, encouraging students to study and learn more on this important topic.

Rinpoche explains the two levels of Mahamudra: Sutra and Tantra. Sutra Mahamudra has two levels: Samatha (which is common amongst Buddhist practitioners) and Vipassana (which is much less practiced.) "Usually when we do Mahamudra, we meditate on the mind... the subject is the coarse mind. The object is the subtle mind."


Venerable Zasep Rinpoche is the author of the in-depth book Gelegu Mahamudra
