Details

This book grows out of an oral teaching that Khenchen Thrangu gave in Crestone, Colorado, on Karma Chagme’s text Meaningful to Behold: The Essential Instructions of the Compassionate One on the Union of Mahamudra and Dzogchen. Thrangu Rinpoche explains in lucid detail the advanced meditation practices of Mahamudra and Dzogchen and also their similarities and differences, including advice on how to safely perform some of the more advanced Dzogchen practices.

Karma Chagme was born in Tibet in 1613. He was a major lineage holder of the Karma Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, and his writings have also become central to the Payul Nyingma order.

Author Bio
Karma Chagme
Karma Chagme (1613–1678) was a scholar and meditation master, versed in both the Nyingma and Karma Kagyu traditions. While in a thirteen-year retreat, he recognized and enthroned Migyur Dorje, the great tertön, when Migyur Dorje was ten years old. Karma Chagme offered the child profound empowerments and teachings, and while they were in retreat together, he wrote down the Namchö cycle of teachings, as they were revealed and dictated to him by Migyur Dorje, comprising thirteen volumes.

He was appointed by the Dalai Lama to be the personal tutor for His Holiness the Seventeenth Karmapa and has authored many books, including Tilopa’s Wisdom, Naropa’s Wisdom, The Mahamudra Lineage Prayer, and Advice from a Yogi.
Praise

"The lucid clarity of Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche’s commentary illuminates Karma Chagme’s precious text on the union of Mahamudra and Dzogchen for today’s Dharma practitioners. It is simple, practical, and profound—it instructs, inspires, and encourages meditators in the work of realizing the true nature of mind." —The Twelfth Kenting Tai Situpa

"It is outstanding that these two great masters, renowned for making good sense of the Tibetan Buddhist practices, are together at last: the incredible Karma Chagme (1613–1678) and the beloved teacher of our times Thrangu Rinpoche. In this book you will find literally everything you need to know for authentic dharma practice laid out with luminous clarity." —Sarah Harding, translator of Machik’s Complete Explanation
