Description

This book opens the way to a deeper knowledge of mahamudra, a Buddhist system of meditation on the nature of the mind. In providing a detailed commentary on the Vajra Song of the first Jamg n Kongtr l (18131899), the author elucidates the stages of ground, path, and fruition for those who wish to meditate according to this system.

Reviews

"In the purity of its vision, it can be a door that opens, even for a moment, onto the meaning of ground, path, and fruition. . . . Cloudless Sky is perhaps most valuable as part of Jamgn Kongtrl Rinpoche's transmission, a way for him to continue to function as guide and spiritual friend." Tricycle
