MAHAMUDRA RETREAT – Part 2

The Amrita of the Essential Accomplishment

Led by

KYABGÖN PHAKCHOK RINPOCHE

 

Our teacher, the precious Buddha, taught many different paths and gave many different teachings.  One of these was Mahamudra, the Great Seal.  Mahamudra is the essence and peak of all dharma teachings, the supreme path of practice.

 

This Mahamudra text, the Amrita of the Essential Accomplishment, belongs to the Taklung Kagyu (the Tiger Command) lineage.  The teachings of the Kagyu were passed down from the dharmakaya buddha Vajradhara to the mahasiddha Saraha, and then to Maitripa, Tilopa, Naropa, Marpa, Mila, and Gampopa.  One of Gampopa’s main students was Pagmo Drupa, and Pagmo Drupa’s main student was Taklung Tanga Tashi Pal (1142-1210), ‘the one with supreme devotion’.  He was the founder of the Taklung Kagyu lineage.   In Tibet, the main seat of the Taklung Kagyu is Riwoche in Kham.  The lineage is upheld and passed on by three main masters: Kyabgön Shabdrung Rinpoche, Kyabgön Jedrung Rinpoche, and Kyabgön Phakchock Rinpoche.

 

This precious text, the Amrita of the Essential Accomplishment by the Taklung Kagyu master Gelong Ngawang Tashi Paldrub, condenses all of the Buddha’s teachings into a single gradual path that guides the student step-by-step.  Short, precise, and easy to practice, it explains succinctly how to traverse the path from the outset of the four mind-changings up until essential Mahamudra, the peak of all of Buddha’s teachings.

 

Having covered the four mind-changing, four foundations, and different types of shamata meditation during the previous retreat, this year Rinpoche will move on to the second part of the text which teaches vipashyana meditation, and finally Mahamudra itself—essential emptiness dharmadhatu meditation. Rinpoche will also unravel the priceless pith instructions that are taught in this text for overcoming obstacles in one’s meditation practice.
