Description
The second volume in a historic six-volume series containing many of the first English translations of the classic Mahamudra literature compiled by the Seventh Karmapa.Sounds of Innate Freedom: The Indian Texts of Mahamudra are historic volumes containing many of the first English translations of the classic Mahamudra literature. The texts and songs in these volumes constitute the large compendium called The Indian Texts of the Mahamudra of Definitive Meaning, compiled by the Seventh Karmapa Chtra Gyatso (14561539). Translated, introduced, and annotated by Karl Brunnhlzl, acclaimed senior teacher at the Nalandabodhi community of Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, the collection offers a brilliant window into the richness of the vast ocean of Indian Mahamudra texts cherished in all Tibetan lineages, particularly in the Kagy tradition, giving us a clear view of the sources of one of the world's great contemplative traditions. This volume 2 (thirty-four texts) contains two long-established sets of Mahamudra works: ';The Sixfold Pith Cycle' and short texts of Maitripa's ';Twenty-Five Dharmas of Mental Nonengagement,' which present a blend of Madhyamaka, Mahamudra, and certain tantric principles, as well as two commentaries by Maitripa's students. The vital focus of this volume is the accomplishment of true reality.
