The Play of Mahamudra

Spontaneous Teachings on Virupa's Mystical Songs

About this book

Essential commentary on the spontaneous mystical songs of the Indian Buddhist rebel-saint Virupa. In this collection, renowned Tibetan Buddhist teacher Lama Migmar Tseten provides essential commentary on the mystical songs of the Indian Buddhist rebel-saint Virupa. One of the most celebrated tantric masters of Buddhist India, Virupa's songs describe his realization of mahamudra, the ultimate nature of reality. Intimate and highly engaging, The Play of Mahamudra unpacks these songs with meticulous clarity, making Virupa's insights accessible to modern readers."This new collected edition of Khenpo Migmar Tseten's Play of Mahamudra volumes constitutes a veritable treasure for all who are deeply engaged on the path to enlightenment. Khenpo Migmar's translation of Mahasiddha Virupa's Treasury of Dohas and of Sachen Kunga Nyingpo's Praise to Virupa makes us intimately familiar with the essence of these root texts, and his elucidation of the Dohas offers us a deep and clear understanding of their core meaning. Anyone who truly contemplates on Mahasiddha Virupa's words is certain to attain realization."—His Holiness the Sakya Triche
