What if the essence of every experience — even the most difficult — was fundamentally pure? This is the profound view of the Mahamudra tradition: that our true nature is like a vast, clear sky, untouched by the temporary clouds of difficult thoughts and emotions.

However, recognizing this purity can be challenging; we can feel trapped in the clouds of ignorance, anger, and attachment. To help us become more familiar with our true nature, Mingyur Rinpoche shares three powerful practices he has used on his own journey: removing, transforming, and transcending. These skillful means help us engage with any problem with awareness, compassion, and wisdom.

Discover how to stop struggling against your mind and begin transforming any difficulty into a path for awakening.
