Practice and Study of the Kagyu Mahamudra: Second of a Series
 
"The quintessence of the … countless teaching of the buddhas is that the wisdom essence … is present as the nature of sentient beings. Among all the different kinds of teaching is one that is the most eminent, the shortest path, the ultimate meaning… Mahamudra is the supreme method that directly and easily reveals the natural face of the mind in which the three kayas are spontaneously present."
  --Lamp of Mahamudra, Tselae Natsok Rangdrol
 
This is the second of a series of presentations on practice and study of Mahamudra.

Shamatha Mahamudra Part One -
Orientation to Talks 1 through 3 From Khenpo Tsultim Gyamtso Rinpoche's exposition of Shamata Mahamudra.
 
This presentation launches the study of Kagyu Mahamudra based on Khenpo Tsultim's exposition of the 9th Karmapa's Ocean of Definitive Meaning.
 
Topics Include:
The Causal Condition for Realizing Mahamudra: Four Reminders
The Empowering Condition: Four Aspects of the Guru principle
The Focal Condition: Certainty about Mahamudra which transcends and fulfills the lower teachings
The Immediately Preceding Condition: Resting Directly in the Intrinsic Nature

Essential Points of the Mind
