Tibetan Buddhism

Mahamudra - The Great Seal

The direct recognition of mind's nature as luminous emptiness.

Mahamudra is the pinnacle practice of the Kagyu lineage, involving direct recognition of the nature of mind. It points out that ordinary mind itself, properly recognized, is enlightenment.

Don't try to meditate - just recognize mind's nature.
