Mahamudra Combo

Description

Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche teaches on The Lamp of Mahamudra by Tsele Natsok Rangdrol. Tsele Natsok Rangdrol presents Mahamudra in 3 sections — Ground, Path, and Fruition. The Ground section explains the nature of all things and how our view of things deviates from that nature. Path teaches the path for realizing mahamudra by practicing tranquility and insight meditation while resting in the self-arisen nature. Fruition teaches full realization. Rinpoche’s talks provide commentary on Ground, Path and Fruition as presented in the text. Translated by Lama Yeshe Gyamtso. Eleven talks on six DVDs. These recordings have chapter points.

The Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche presents the View of Mahamudra based on teachings by Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye in the Treasury of Knowledge, Rinpoche introduces Sutra, Tantra and Essence Mahamudra, and further explains Sutra and Essence Mahamudra from the perspective of ground, path and fruition. Rinpoche discusses the lineage of Mahamudra; the meaning and importance of devotion; the four causal conditions unique to the Essence Mahamudra practices; and how to meditate on Mahamudra, including eight points to meditate on in the Essence Mahamudra Path. This teaching is on the one hand thorough, detailed and academic. On the other hand, throughout these talks Rinpoche’s words arouse devotion and produce profound insight. Six talks on one MP3 CD.

Chapter Pointing on DVD video recordings
Chapter points have been set at each transition from Tibetan to English and from English to Tibetan. Because Rinpoche sometimes speaks in Tibetan for long periods at a time, some viewers may wish to jump forward to the English translation (at any time) by using the Next Chapter button (>>|) on their DVD player’s remote control. Also, for those who primarily speak Tibetan, the same process works for jumping from the English to the Tibetan.
