GAMPOPA'S MAHAMUDRA: Five Part Mahamudra of the Kagyus

by Lotsawa Tony Duff

Five-Part Mahamudra is a specific and effective way of entering reality. It was first taught by Lord Gampopa and became one of the main ways of practising Mahamudra in the Kagyu lineage. This book is a compendium of these teachings that accurately transmit 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
