For this episode of the Wisdom Podcast, host Daniel Aitken speaks with Roger Jackson, renowned scholar of both Indian and Tibetan Buddhist traditions and author of several books, including his most recent, Mind Seeing Mind: Mahmudr and the Geluk Tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Were also delighted to share that Mind Seeing Mind recently won the prestigious Toshihide Numata Book Award in Buddhist Studies, given by the Numata Foundation. In this conversation, youll hear Roger tackle the enormous subject of mahmudr and its extremely complex origins within Tibetan Buddhist history. Mahmudr is considered especially prominent in the Kagy school of Tibetan Buddhism; however, Rogers primary interest is in the history, texts, and doctrines of Geluk mahmudr. Youll hear Roger compare and contrast the essence of classic mahmudr texts as interpreted by both Kagypas and Gelukpas. Within this context, Roger and Daniel dive into central questions: What exactly is emptiness of mind within these two schools of thought? What is conventional versus ultimate reality? How do these differing views translate to the practice itself? The post Roger Jackson: Mahmudr in the Geluk and Kagy Traditions (#94) appeared first on The Wisdom Experience.
