âAdvice on Mahamudra Meditation : Buddhist Inner Sciences 101 Episode 18 the Bob Thurman Podcast is an excerpt from a teaching for Nalanda Institute, recorded at Tibet House US in New York City on April 16th 2015.
The Nalanda Institute for Contemplative Science is an educational non-profit inspired by the worldâs first university, Nalanda University, founded in India in the fifth century to advance the Buddhaâs mission to end suffering by offering public education in the health and mind sciences. Nalanda Universityâs scientific tradition was preserved in the colleges and medical schools of Tibet as the worldâs oldest system of integrative medicine and positive psychology.
The Nalanda Institute for Contemplative Science has evolved this rich legacy into a rigorous, scientific approach to self-knowledge modernized for the Western world through training in timeless contemplative skills informed by todayâs practical neuropsychology.
âAdvice on Mahamudra Meditationâ is apart of the Buddhist Inner Sciences 101 Podcast Series taken from the Bob Thurman & Tibet House US archives which are intended to provide an introduction to the yogic, meditative & theoretical practices of the tradition. These recordings are intended to be general overviews & one should be studying with a qualified teacher before attempting or engaging in the practices.
