Six Short Points on Mahamudra

Mahamudra is a powerful teaching called the Great Seal. It is instruction on Emptiness.

Tilopa was a great Tibetan Buddhist saint of the Kagyu lineage. He gave six short points of advice to his disciple Naropa (another great Tibetan Buddhist saint) regarding Mahamudra:
  1. Don't recall (Let go of what has passed)
  2. Don't imagine (Let go of what may come)
  3. Don't think (Let go of what is happening now)
  4. Don't examine (Don't try to figure anything out)
  5. Don't control (Don't try to make anything happen)
  6. Rest (Relax, right now, and rest)
