Biodata:
The Venerable Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche is one of the most erudite scholars and accomplished yogis of the Karma Kagyu lineage. He is especially well-known for his breadth of vision and the clarity of his Dharma expositions.

Born in Eastern Tibet in 1934, Rinpoche spent many years meditating in caves in Central Tibet under the guidance of the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa, and then in India studying Buddhist philosophy with the most learned Tibetan scholars. Thus he became proficient in the philosophical teachings of all the main lineages of Tibetan Buddhism.

Rinpoche has guided the education of many of the Kagyu lineage's young incarnate lamas. He has many students of Buddhism both in the East and the West and travels the world giving teachings regularly in Nepal, the Far East, America and Europe. He has established the Marpa Institute for Translation in Nepal, and directs the translation of texts on philosophy and meditation, as well as songs sung by the realised masters of the past.

MAHAMUDRA AND DOHA SONGS
21 November 1998
6 tapes

Mahamudra means great seal, symbol, or gesture, referring to the fact that there is nothing greater than the state of Mahamudra. It is the meditative transmission handed down especially by the Kagyu lineage, from Vajradhara to Tilopa and then up to the present lineage holders.

Dohas are spontaneous songs of experience and realisation. They often contain the essential instructions for meditative practice and are of great inspirational value for practitioners.

19 November 1998
6 tapes

Shamatha is the technique of stabilising the mind where distractions of emotional instabilities are overcome. Through the technique of Vipassana or analytical meditation the meditator gains insight into the nature of his/her mind and the phenomenal world.
