The Song of Awakening

<p><em>The Song of Awakening </em>contains Namgyal Rinpoche's pith instructions on the classical practice of Mindfulness of Death the practice of meditation in general and the exemplary practice of <em>Mahamudra </em>'the supreme path of enlightenment'. Included are key teachings and references to various schools of Buddha-Dharma Judeo-Christianity and the Western Mysteries as well as modern psychology and philosophy; all disciplines in which he was a master. This transmission clearly and deftly woven throughout his discourses retains and reveals the essence of each of them placed in a context relevant for this age. Although more than four decades have passed since Rinpoche first gave these teachings they remain as fresh and as timeless a guide to liberation as they were when he gave them then. </p>
