  Showing the Path of Liberation: A Commentary on the Kagyu Lineage Prayer -- by Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche
Showing the Path of Liberation: A Commentary on the Kagyu Lineage Prayer -- by Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche
 
This teaching by Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche on Penkarwa's Short Prayer to Dorje Chang is one of Rinpoche's first published teachings. It was given by Rinpoche at the request of His Holiness the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa especially for the benefit of Western students, so that they may understand the nature of the path. Here Rinpoche gives a verse by verse commentary, which covers all aspects of the path and the practice according to the tradition of Mahamudra. He also gives a brief history of the lineage and the early lineage teachers.

The supplication itself is the one in common use in all the major schools of the Kagyu tradition. It is also used in personal practice, not only within the monasteries, but by all lay people who practice Mahamudra.

This supplication was composed by the great teacher Penkar Jampal Zangpo, after his completion of eighteen years of solitary retreat practice meditating on Mahamudra on an island in the middle of a lake in northern Tibet. It is regarded as being a summary of his experience and realization, gained through years of intense practice, and therefore it is held to have unparalleled blessing.

Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche is an eminent teacher of the Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism who travels and teaches extensively in Asia, Europe, and North America. He is currently tutor to H. H. the Seventeenth Gyalwang Karmapa.
