Mahamudra and Related Instructions: Core Teachings of the Kagyu Schools (Library of Tibetan Classics) ReviewThis is an excellent translation and presentation of eleven classic Tibetan Buddhist Kagyu texts selected by Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche, who in the past two or three decades has emerged as a leading teacher of Mahamudra, serving as the head abbot of several major monasteries and the primary tutor to the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa.
This collection includes translations of (1) general lectures by Gampopa (1079-1153) intended to assist his students with transmitting the Dharma, (2) a rare quality edition of one of the most sublime Mahamudra texts of the 12th Century Lama Shang, (3) two popular and essential Mahamudra texts of the 3rd Karmapa Rangjung Dorje (1284-1339), (4) a much needed re-visited translation of Drukpa Pema Karpo's Mahamudra instructions (this text was originally included in the Evans-Wentz classic work), 5) the Drikungpa Jikten Sumgon's nephew and successor, Sherap Jungne's (1187-1241) "One Thought" or "Single View-Point" and 6) and important works by Tsele Natsok Rangdrol, the Eighth Situ and Shonu Lha. Thus essential instructions of the Tsalpa, Drukpa, Karma, Drikung lineages are presented with easily readable and consistent translations, allowing the serious student to appreciate and explore their distinctions. In addition, the Sixth Sharmapa Chokyi Wangchuk's guide to the "Six Dharmas of Naropa" and Dakpo Tashi Namgya's classic overview of tantric Mahamudra are included.
Mahamudra is regarded to be a most suitable Dharma or approach for Westerners by "the heads" of the various Kagyu lineages represented in this collection. Therefore, Peter Alan Roberts has done all English-speaking Buddhists a major service by rendering this work with the utmost care. This work firms-up Peter's credentials as one of today's leading translators in the Kagyu tradition.
As a director of a Kagyu meditation center for Westerner students of Mahamudra for the past 21 years, who has had the opportunity to work with both beginners and more seasoned students, I would like to highly recommended this important work. How wonderful it is to be able to read the advice of some of the "most accomplished fellow practitioners" dating back almost 1000 years! You will get a lot out of this work for a long time to come.
