Almost a thousand years ago, on the banks of the Ganges river, the towering Indian Yogi Tilopa finally agreed to share his supreme guidance on Mahamudra with his dedicated student, Naropa. Tilopa’s Ganges Mahamudra, transmitted in the form of a spontaneous song, is a concise and essential presentation of the ultimate path and outcome of Buddhist meditation. His sharing of the living experience of enlightenment continues to vibrate behind the written words to this day. Although the Ganges Mahamudra introduces a highly advanced level of practice, it is, in the same breath, an astonishingly clear and easy practice that requires nothing more than an honest gaze into one’s mind. The practice is designed to evoke an immediate awareness of the innate, unborn clear light wisdom of one’s being. As such, it may be considered the truest and speediest path of highest tantra. Even more radically, Tilopa makes it clear that if this mind of clear light can be accessed directly, no other practice is required. In Mahamudra: The Final Realization, Shai Tubali offers an extensive illumination of Tilopa’s words in order to make the instructions both accessible and transformative for the modern reader. This elucidation is followed by simple Mahamudra meditations and inquiries, as well as a comprehensive section containing guidance on Tilopa’s supportive tantric practices: Inner Fire and Clear Light. SHAI TUBALI is an international author, speaker, and philosopher. He is the developer of Radical Tantra, a teaching of mystical enlightenment for the twenty-first century that updates the relationship between spirituality and human life and endows human life with meaning and significance.
