Venerable Robina Courtin teaches on "Mahamudra: How to Discover Our True Nature.", a book of Lama Yeshe's teachings edited by Venerable Robina. The original teachings by Lama Yeshe were given in Bendigo, Australia in 1981; hosted by Atisha Centre.    Lama Yeshe tells us that mahamudra is “the universal reality of emptiness, of nonduality” and its unique characteristic is its emphasis on meditation: “With mahamudra meditation there is no doctrine, no theology, no philosophy, no God, no Buddha. Mahamudra is only experience.” (http://bit.ly/MahamudraFPMTShop)   Lama Yeshe’s famous teaching style is fully present in this book, according to the book’s editor, Ven. Robina Courtin: “His words are not only experiential but also direct, funny, deceptively simple, and incredibly encouraging—enlightenment seems possible.” (from the FPMT website http://bit.ly/Mahamudra1)    Q: The best way to view our mind habits.....is to focus on it? ie viewing a child with love or annoyance...and see the mind habits behind this?  (1:13)   Q: Does the guru have to be a "lama" .. can it be a venerable? (5:45)   Q: When Lama Tsong Khapa saw the Light Buddha Manjushri - did he then describe what he saw and an artist then drew an image of this? And is this how we know what Green Tara, Medicine Buddha and all the Light Buddhas look like? (7:12)   Q: I see such new level  of  lack of morality and fear in society now and I feel and see this everywhere I look...this has really unsettled me and I am asking your opinion on how to not get so upset about all the horrible pervasive anger /misery in the world. (8:07)   Q: I have ‘restless leg syndrome’ (inability to sit for long). My question is on the authenticity of practising Calm Abiding while walking (maybe slowly & mindfully)? (10:55)   How to "Meditate on your mind" (25:08)   Letting go (of anger) (48:12)   Q: I found it difficult to not label it. (1:03:10)   Q: I get lost in the words "watch" the mind. Am I only interested in the vision that I see when my eyes are shut (the tv screen) or am I "watching" or listening to the conversation that comes up as well? (1:03:47)   Q: What are the antidotes to excited energy and sluggishness when they appear? (1:04:47)  Q: Where should one start if in an acute emotional/psychological state? (1:08:20)   Q: It felt (mahamudra meditation) like I was in a bathroom with a wall mirror on each side and you look in the mirror and see your image reflected endlessly (1:10:15)   Q: In regards to the story of the sherpa monk, couldn't the monk have purified his karma by the buddhist practice without having died at that time when he went back home? Also wouldn't the decision to allow him to die by not getting the doctor for the monk cause bad karma because of the decision leading to his death even though it was done with a compassionate mind?
