Book Reviews of Mahamudra Tantra: The Supreme Heart Jewel Nectar

Book Review: Mahamudra within reach!
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is amazing! I am left flat footed by how clear, straightforward, attainable and seemingly obvious the Buddhist path to enlightenment really is. Although the subject Tantra Mahamudra is considered to be Buddha's most profound teaching and the meditations involved are quite complex, this book renders everything so clearly that I would propose this book as both an excellent introduction to Buddhist practise and for those seeking to complete the training.

A couple of other observations, the author clearly writes from experience. I say this because the clarity and simplicity of his explanations revealing what is correct and what is mistaken have the unmistakeable mark of direct knowledge, rather than academic parroting. Reading this book actually made my heart tremble because at least for this reader, it becomes abundantly clear that the author is a fully realised being. How amazing is that, if you really take such an idea into your heart? Understanding that such beings do exist and are so immediately available for the average Joe makes this book all the more inspiriing, because it really gives confidence that these are practices to be perfected, not words to discussed.

So I should stop there, I wouldn't normally gush so much, but I hope I share some of my enthusiasm and that others who read it also find such happiness and more! If not, it just goes to show that everything depends on the mind.
