Tilopa's Mahamudra Upadesha: The Gangama Instructions with Commentary by Sangyes Nyenpa Rinpoche

Sangyes Nyenpa Rinpoche explains the Gangama instructions, the song of realization the Indian mahasiddha Tilopa sang to his disciple Naropa on the banks of the Ganges more than a thousand years ago. These verses are regarded as the source of all Mahamudra lineages of meditation.

The commentary is given in a traditional Tibetan context by an accomplished contemporary master of the lineage, offering a glimpse of the Mahamudra oral transmission. Its focus is recognizing the nature of one’s own mind, an advanced practice traditionally pursued with a qualified teacher.
