Gampopa's Mahamudra

Meer over het boek

Mahamudra is reality! 'Five-Part Mahamudra' is a specific and effective way of entering reality. It was first taught by Lord Gampopa, one of the mainstays of the Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. He taught it to his heart disciple Phagmo Drupa who taught it widely. After that, it became one of the main ways of practising Mahamudra in the Kagyu lineage. This book is a compendium of these teachings that accurately transmits the whole Five-Part Mahamudra system. It includes a complete commentary on the practice by one of the current lineage holders, Benchen Tenga Rinpoche. Tenga Rinpoche is one of the most senior teachers in the Karma Kagyu, and one of Karmapa Orgyen Thrinley's gurus."All sentient beings have a mind and they also have an essence of that mind. For all of them, the confusion that they experience comes about only in their mind; for all of them, the essence of mind itself never changes, never becomes confused."- from the commentary by Benchen Tenga Rinpoche
