Course Outline

This Mahamudra immersion is centered around Tilopa’s famous song of realization (Sanskrit: doha) called The Ganges Mahamudra. The first four modules focuses on establishing the view of Mahamudra by going through the first eight verses of Tilopa’s root verses and receiving instructions on how to make them relevant to our own lives.

In the last four modules, we will explore how to bring the view of Mahamudra into practice by studying the latter half of the root verses of the Ganges Mahamudra. In the last module of the course, we will also familiarize ourselves with the Tibetan side of the Mahamudra tradition and read about some of its important lineage figures.

The darkness of a thousand eons cannot dim
The brilliant radiance that is the essence of the sun.
Likewise, eons of samsara cannot dim
The sheer clarity that is the essence of your mind.
