Book

Mahāsiddha Practice, the sixteenth volume of Jamgön Kongtrul Lodrö Taye's The Treasury of Precious Instructions (gdams ngag rin po che'i mdzod), presents a selection of teachings and practices (40 texts) centered on the mahāsiddhas, Indian tantric masters. The mahāsiddha Mitrayogin, whose work forms the majority of this volume, visited Tibet in the late twelfth century. His ritual texts along with instructions are here translated from Tibetan, including sādhanas, empowerments, guru yogas, authorization rituals for protector deities, and detailed compositions on Mahāmudrā practice, or resting in the nature of mind. In addition to instructions given by mahāsiddhas, this volume includes ritual practices to visualize them and transmit their blessings, beginning with a devotional text composed by Jamgön Kongtrul himself.
