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 Jamgön Kongtrül (1813–1899), the author elucidates the stages of ground, path, and fruition for those who wish to meditate according to this system.
