12 Mahamudra: Sutra and the Embodiment of Tantra

The source explores Mahamudra, the highest Buddhist practice, analyzing it as an embodiment of Sutra and Tantra. It defines the essence of the Mahamudra path, comparing it to Vajrayana and its three paths – blessings, inner peace, and defining reality. The text details how Mahamudra differs from the teachings of Sutra and Tantra, quoting Master Saraha, who emphasizes Mahamudra's unconditionality and independence from the rituals and techniques of other traditions. The source also traces the history of Mahamudra transmission, starting from Buddha Vajradhara through Indian siddhas such as Saraha, Nagarjuna, Tilopa, and Naropa, to its establishment in the Tibetan tradition thanks to Marpa and Gampopa. It is emphasized that although Mahamudra is a direct path to realizing reality, in modern conditions, it is often integrated with Tantra practices to prepare students.#Mahamudra, #Buddhism, #Sutra, #Tantra, #Vajrayana, #Saraha, #Nagarjuna, #Tilopa, #Naropa, #Marpa, #Gampopa, #TibetanBuddhism, #Meditation, #Realization, #Practice, #Spirituality
