Mahamudra – View & Ground

Mahamudra – View & Ground

Role: Clarifies the view of Mahamudra as a presentation of the nature of mind and reality, and how this relates to your broader conceptual web (Śūnyatā, Tathatā, Prabhāsvara Citta, gzhi, etc.).

Core Mahamudra View

• Nondual awareness as nature of mind – not produced, not destroyed.
• Union of emptiness (śūnyatā) and clarity/luminosity (prabhāsvara citta, rigpa-like).
• Spontaneous presence & primordial purity (ka dag / lhun grub) as key descriptors of ground.

Links into Existing Concepts

• Closely related to:
  • Concept → Śūnya
  • Concept → Prabhāsvara Citta
  • Concept → Tathatā
  • Concept → Gzhi or Zhi

Use this thought to collect and refine your own statements of view that are specific to Mahamudra rather than Dzogchen or general Madhyamaka.
