Critics Review
“Lama Sherab Dorje offers us an accurate and highly readable translation of this masterwork of Kagyu Buddhism … a text that deserves to be studied in depth.“—Matthew Kapstein, author of The Tibetans “The Mahamudra Prayer is one of the fundamental texts and practices of the Kagyu lineage. And here is a concise powerful exposition of every part of it by one of the regents of the lineage… . Reading and rereading it a little each day alongside recitation of the prayer itself may greatly enrich your practice by providing glimpses of the goal.“—Thar Lam
