Parinirvana 2017 video, Talk 9 from "The Yogic Songs of Milarepa" . Naropa University, 12 Aug 1976. Boulder, Colorado. Shambhala Archives. http://fundshambhalaarchives.org . Kalapa Media http://www.kalapamedia.org

Mahamudra means "great symbol". “And when we talk about symbol in this case, we're not talking about something representing something else, but we are talking about actual, direct contact. Fire burns: that is a symbol of fire. Sun shines: that is the symbol of sun.” (1.07)

“So the idea of symbolism in this case of mahamudra experience is what we experience in our ordinary, everyday life situation, quite simply, directly, [our] ordinary, everyday life situation: our hot dogs and our toilet seats. Peanut butter jelly sandwich,…”
He discusses the experience of Simplicity, One-Taste, One-pointedness, and Nonmeditation. He also says “I could say that: that there's no such thing as sudden enlightenment” (20.15) and discusses that.
