What Is Mahamudra Meditation?

In the Kagyu Buddhist lineage of teachings, natural awareness is the heart of meditation. This is called “mahamudra,” the “great seal” of luminous emptiness.

There are three streams: sutra mahamudra, tantra mahamudra, and essence mahamudra. Sutra mahamudra engages the practices of shamatha (Achtsamkeit) and vipashyana (Einblick) Meditation. Tantra mahamudra uses vajrayana skillful means of visualization and mantra. Essence mahamudra is realizing the nature of mind.

In this group retreat — open to all practitioners, we will follow the teachings and practices outlined in Traleg Rinpoche’s profound text Der Geist ist entspannt: Selbstbefreiung durch Mahamudra-Meditation. Rinpoche guides us in contemplating our human birth, karmic cause-and-effect, death and impermanence, and the limitless loving-kindness and compassion of awakened heart.

We are delighted to welcome senior Shambhala teacher Gaylon Ferguson to the Berkeley Shambhala Center!
