MAHA MUDRA
OCEAN OF CERTAINTY TRANSMISSION - Year 2007
Taught by H.E. The 12th Tai Situpa in Palpung Sherab Ling, India.
2007/03/08 ~ 2007/03/15
“From
today on, I will be teaching the Maha Mudra. Maha Mudra for practice,
not for intellectual understanding only. Maha Mudra for practice.
The teaching of Maha Mudra is the all-encompassing teaching of Lord Buddha--Theravada,
Mahayana, Vajrayana. The essence of all of it is taught in Maha Mudra,
all taught as Maha Mudra, and practiced as Maha Mudra.
Everything is Maha Mudra. But the difference between that kind of Maha
Mudra and the practice of Maha Mudra Ocean of Certainty is Maha Mudra
Ocean of Certainty is for the enlightenment, enlightenment for the benefit
of all sentient beings to attain enlightenment.
Maha
Mudra is to help all of us to realize the ultimate truth through the relative
truth. And relative truth is the relative truth of the ultimate truth.
Ultimate truth is the ultimate truth of the relative truth. Now this way,
Maha Mudra."
