Mahamudra meditation is simultaneously the most profound of meditative
disciplines and the most accessible for modern practitioners.
Traditionally passed orally from teacher to disciple, mahamudra
instructions point the meditator to the innate perfection of every
experience.

When it first appeared in 1986, Mahamudra: The Moonlight - Quintessence of Mind and Meditation
was the first presentation in English of a major Tibetan Buddhist work
on meditation. This classic guide was composed in the sixteenth century
by an eminent lama of the Kagyu school and is so comprehensive and
practical that it is still widely used today as a manual. Divided into
two major sections, it presents first the common approach and then the
mahamudra approach to tranquility (shamatha) and insight (vipashyana) meditation.
