************************************************************
Meditation according to Ganges Mahamudra
The "Ganges Mahamudra" was taught by Tilopa to Naropa; Naropa
taught it to Marpa, who translated it into Tibetan. This short
instruction is considered the source text of all Kagyu doctrine in
general and especially of our tradition of Mahamudra.
Mahamudra is an approach to meditative practice that can be used by
all. It is an approach that engulfs any practitioner with
tremendous splendor and is very effective and easy to implement.
This is especially true in the present time.
ABOUT
PALCHEN RINPOCHE
![image]()
Sonam Zangpo Palchen Rinpoche was born in Nangchen, Qinghai. He is
recognized by Jamgon Tai Situ Rinpoche as the reincarnation of
Sonam Zangpo Rinpoche. The previous Sonam Zangpo Rinpoche was the
Lama of late Kyabje Drubwang Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche, who had spent
his life in retreat.
Since young, the present Palchen Rinpoche followed Sangye Tenzin
Rinpoche to Japa Monastery, where he received many precious
empowerments, scriptural transmissions and oral instructions. At a
later period, Jamgon Tai Situ Rinpoche bestowed him with the
Bodhisattva vow and the Three Levels of Ordination. After which,
Palchen Rinpoche entered a three-year retreat at Sangye Tenzin
Rinpoche¡¯s retreat centre, where he practiced with great diligence
the Profound Naro Chodruk and the generation and completion stages.
Jamgon Kontrul Rinpoche also transmitted him with the Pointing-Out
instructions of the Mahamudra.
Before Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche passed into Nirvana, he entrusted
Palchen Rinpoche with all his responsibilities. In his own words,¡°
Palchen is my representative and he is of great benefit to Dharma
teachings. Thus Chogyur Lingpa¡¯s prophecy will be fulfilled along
with the wishes of myself.
