A full translation of the famous work by the great female yogini Machik Lapdron, who developed the Mahamudra Chod teachings for cutting through ego-fixation and confronting negative states of mind.
"Machik's Complete Explanation is an important contribution to an understanding of Tibet's most innovative female saint, revealing her vast diversity of teachings that place Chod squarely in the mainstream of tantric Buddhist meditation. Harding's translation deftly reveals new and rare biographical, anatomical, philosophic, and meditative lore essential to understanding the tradition as a whole." Judith Simmer-Brown.
"Sarah Harding's masterful translation is a real gift to students of Chod and this extraordinary woman teacher...the translation has such a fresh living quality you almost feel you are recieving teachings directly from Machik Lapdron herself." Tsultrim Allione.
"Sarah Harding's magnificent translation of this key work of Tibet's most famous yogini opens up for Western practitioners the startling world of Chod practice: severing the devil of ego-fixation. This meditation manual explains how the rich symbology of tantric yoga can be used in a disturbingly effective way to transform one's life." Stephen Batchelor.
