Wouldn't the Mahamudra forum be better places in a "Meditation" area along with the Dzogchen forum and perhaps have forums for Shamatha, Vipassyana, Tonglen, etc. as well?
just a thought?

Mahamudra is more than a single meditation technique, while "vipashyana" covers a very big area. That's why I don't think so.
"To know by thinking falls into the secondary. To know without thinking falls into the tertiary."

"While teachers of the middle way, mind only, transcendent wisdom, mantra, and other schools may have their own assertions, the fulfillment of those intentions is the same. There is not a single thing that is not contained within mind."
