Lama Ole comments the 3rd Karmapa's work on the Mahamudra, Buddhas highest teachings about the mind itself. It's simply amazing.

Wow, this was surprisingly good, actually amazing. The writing is so unconventional, so authentic, so fresh. A bit chaotic, but that's another authentic reflection of the way things are. I felt so much lightness and freedom reading this book. Maybe it wasn't a perfect introduction to Tibetan Buddhism though.. I shall learn about it more and then I will enjoy this wonderful book again.

I'm going to read this again in a year...after more meditation and consideration.

The best book written about the Mahamudra in my view.

Such a deep topic explained with such ease.

Each page is a breath of fresh air

Dočteno. Velmi mne povzbudilo setkání s lamou Olem v červnu 2021 k tomu, abych četla smysluplné věci. Velká pečeť obsahuje vše, co je důležité, ukazuje na osvícení a vybízí k tomu, tohoto stavu dosáhnout. Wooow, je to jízda, kde nejde o intelektuální pochopení, ale hlavně o prožitek. Jsme na cestě a ještě chvíli budeme🙏🏻

"The Great Seal" expands on Lama Ole's lectures, filling in some blanks, and giving Diamond Way practice a full picture! Very inspirational!

the perfect distillation of the way

The "3rd Karmapa's prayer about the Mahamudra" a rather unique text from the mind of a 14th century monk. Unfortunately the "explanation" from Ole Nydahl transforms it into a heavy hard-to-digest religious book, that constantly repeats itself over and over, seemingly trying to drill its way into your head as you read. Most of the chapters are dull and repetitive, it feels as if you're reading the same things on every page. The prayer itself is pretty interesting and inspiring, and some of Nydahl's explanations have merit to them, but those are the only positive things I can say about the book.
