Pointing Out the Great Way
The Stages of Meditation in the Mahamudra Tradition
This spiritual manual describes mahamudra meditation from the perspective of the gradual path, a progressive process of training that is often contrasted to sudden realization. The book contains a step-by-step description of the ways to practice, precise descriptions of the various stages and their intended realizations, and the typical problems that arise along with their remedies. Drawn from a variety of sources, Pointing Out the Great Way distills the experiences of many great masters who have traversed the path of meditation to the point of perfect mastery.
