The Oral Instructions of Mahamudra
The very esssence of Buddha's teachings of Sutra and Tantra
Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche
The instructions of Mahamudra presented in this book are based on Je Tsongkhapa’s oral instructions of Mahamudra, his uncommon instructions of Mahamudra that he extracted from the Ganden Emanation Scripture.
- Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche
This precious book reveals the uncommon practice of Tantric Mahamudra of the Ganden Oral Lineage, which the author, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, received directly from his Spiritual Guide, Vajradhara Trijang Rinpoche. It explains clearly and concisely the entire spiritual path from the initial preliminary practices to the final completion stages of Highest Yoga Tantra that enable us to attain full enlightenment in this life.

It is an oral instruction directly from Venerable Geshe-la's heart.
