Mahamudra, literally the “great seal,” refers to the ultimate nature of mind and reality, to a meditative practice for realizing that ultimate reality, and to the final result of this practice, ultimate enlightenment. This system of meditation works with both the conventional and ultimate nature of mind. Coming from Indian Buddhism through masters like Maitripa it became prominent in the new translation schools of Kagyu, Sakya and Gelug. In the Gelug tradition Panchen Lozang Chökyen wrote the famous root text that will be the basis of this teaching.
GLENN MULLIN has been a long time friend of Gelek Rimpoche and Jewel Heart, having met and studied with Gelek Rimpoche from the mid 70’s in India. He is a Tibetologist, Buddhist writer, translator of classical Tibetan literature, and teacher of Tantric Buddhist meditation. He studied philosophy, literature, meditation, yoga, and the enlightenment culture under thirty-five of the greatest living masters of the four schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Glenn is the author of over 20 books on Tibetan Buddhism, founded and directed the Mystical Arts of Tibet, and has curated a number of important Tibetan art exhibitions. He divides his time between writing, teaching, meditating, and leading tour groups to the power places of Nepal and Tibet.
