About the Book

Description of Glimpses along the Path This work is about a series of experiences gained through mahamudra investigations. Mahamudra, Tibetan for the Great Seal Mahamudra investigations are undertaken to understand the nature of the mind which must be understood to experience reality which is the world without illusion. Most of the poems in this volume are my recollections of experiences achieved while meditating. Meditation strips the world of its illusions and allows it to be seen as it is. After each poem title there is a short statement about the content of the poem. Mahamudra Experiences The works that attempt descriptions of mahamudra experiences are as follow: Basic GoodnessComment: Attaining the experience of basic goodness is the beginning and the end of the path (which does not exist) to enlightenment.
