Mahamudra is the first English translation of a major Tibetan Buddhist presentation of the theory and practice of meditation a manual detailing the various stages and practices for training the advanced student. The original Tibetan text of nearly 800 pages was composed by Takpo Tashi Namgyal (1512 - 87), a great lama and a scholar of the Kagyu sect of Tibetan Buddhism.

This 16th century work by Tagpo Tashi Namgyal is the classic text on Mahamudra. It is divided into two major sections. The first section describes the common methods of meditating on tranquility and insight, and the second explains in great detail the special methods of Mahamudra. This text is not only useful as a practical handbook of meditation but also as a reference for understanding the various views on Mahamudra taught by generations of masters in India and Tibet. The translation by Lobsang Lhalungpa is clear and very readable, but the encylopaedic nature of the book makes it easy to get lost in the details. Someone with no background in Mahamudra would be better off starting with a more basic introduction such as "The Mahamudra Eliminating the Darkness of Ignorance" by the Ninth Karmapa Wang-ch'ug Dorge (translated by Alex Berzin). But anyone interested in studying or practicing Mahamudra in more depth would find this masterful work by Tagpo Tashi Namgyal to be a great treasure.
