In today’s talk, Reggie discusses posture, pure awareness, and the history of Tibetan Buddhism. He says that recent scholarship in Tibetan history reveals how Chan Buddhism played a central role in the development of Mahamudra practice. These discoveries demonstrate the flexible dynamism and open-endedness of the Mahamudra tradition.

This talk was given at the 2014 Mahamudra for the Modern World retreat held in Crestone, CO. Reggie's new audio training program, The Practice of Pure Awareness, was recently published by Sounds True.
