The MahaSiddhas Heart-Essence

The MahaSiddhas were a group of Buddhist Masters of great accomplishment, who were the first practitioners of the old Tantric Buddhism. Their simple, direct style of Buddhism is very rare today.

Padmasambhava, the Tantric Buddha, received and synthesized the entire body of the MahaSiddha’s practices, realization and teachings into a system of Inner Tantras and Inner Yogas. The encapsulation of this teaching is called the MahaSiddha’s Heart Essence.

Herein, the essence of the Buddha’s teaching is realized through awakening to non-dual awareness within every aspect of our lives. Body, emotions, diet, love and work all become the domain of this awakening.

To study this teaching and the MahaSiddha’s lives, is to expand our perspective beyond conditioning and limited identities, to discover a greater genuineness, precision and freedom.

Enlivened, empowered, in kindness, we meet our world in wakeful sanity.

This is the lineage of awareness; dynamic, living and non-intellectual.
It is MahaSiddha Buddhism, waking up to the heart of what is.
