Description
The Kagy? school of Tibetan Buddhism began in the eleventh century with such renowned figures as Marpa and Milarepa, and its seminal meditative traditions are Mah_mudr_ and the six Dharmas of N_ropa. Mah_mudr_ teachings focus on the cultivation of profound insight into the nature of the mind. The Mah_mudr_ texts in this volume include a lucid work by the celebrated master Tsel? Natsok Rangdr?l and works by the twelfth-century master Shang Rinpoche, the great Third Karmapa, the Eighth Tai Situ, and Drukpa Pema Karpo. The volume also contains an inspirational work by Gampopa, the Drigung Kagy? root text, The Single Viewpoint, the Sixth Shamarpa?s guide to the six Dharmas of N_rop_, and finally an overview of tantric practice by Dakpo Tashi Namgyal, author of the famous Moonlight of Mah_mudr_. The texts in this volume were selected by the preeminent scholar of the Kagy? school, Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche.
