One day Mahāmudrā....
Mahāmudrā (Sanskrit; Tibetan: Chagchen, Wylie: phyag chen, contraction of
Chagya Chenpo, Wylie: phyag rgya chen po) literally means "great seal" or
"great symbol." It "is a multivalent term of great importance in later
Indian Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism" which "also occurs occasionally in
Hindu and East Asian Buddhist esotericism."[1]
The name refers to the way one who has realized mahāmudrā (that is, one who
has succeeded in the practices of mahāmudrā) experiences reality: mudra
refers to the fact that each phenomenon appears vividly, and maha refers to
the fact that it is beyond concept, imagination, and projection.
