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 Jamgoen Kongtrul (1813 1899), the author elucidates the stages of ground, path, and fruition for those who wish to meditate according to this system."
Author Biography
"Jamgoen Kongtrul (1813 1899) was a versatile and prolific scholar. He has been characterized as a "Tibetan Leonardo" because of his significant contributions to religion, education, medicine, and politics."
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 Jamgoen Kongtrul Rinpoche's transmission, a way for him to continue to function as guide and spiritual friend."- Tricycle
