Tony Duff : Drukchen Padma Karpo's Collected Works on Mahamudra
This book contains all of Padma Karpo's writings on Mahamudra as found in his Collected Works. Padma Karpo was the fourth Drukchen or head of the Drukpa Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism. He is one of the most famous of all Tibetan authors, and is well known for his erudite explanations of difficult subjects.
The Drukpa Kagyu has its own way of understanding the view and practice; previous translations by followers of other Kagyu lineages may go astray in places because of lack of knowledge of the particulars of Drukpa Kagyu view and meditation. Despite the fact that the Drukpa Kagyu view is presented in these texts, the book should be of immense value to anyone who is studying and practising Mahamudra. There are many explanations of the Four Yogas of Mahamudra in here which show the whole system in a level of detail not seen before. In one text, Padma Karpo quotes extensively from his predessor, the second Drukchen Gyalwang Je, who was famous for the brilliance of his expositions on tantra. Another gem is Padma Karpo's explanation of a song of Saraha on the non dual view which came to Marpa in a dream.
This book contains translations of the following texts: Jetsun Tillipa's Instruction to Naropa commonly known as the Ganges Mahamudra; the Guru of All Explanations That Thoroughly Distinguish the Ascertainments of the Four Yogas; an Explanation of the Four Yogas Called An Eye to Look at the Definitive Meaning; an Explanation of the Four Yogas Points Out Superfact; Notes on Mahamudra; a Mirror of Mind, Foremost Instructions on the Heart Meaning; and Mind Harvest: an Instruction on Five Part Mahamudra.
