Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche's commentary to the sixteenth century
work Pith Instructions of Coemergent Wisdom, Entitled the Profound
Essence of the Ocean of Certainty, by the Ninth Karmapa, Wangchuk
Dorje, provides meditators with an overview of the path leading to
the realization of mahamudra, the self-liberated and all-encompassing
nature of reality. Beginning with ngondro practice, Traleg Rinpoche
guides students through the conditions needed to integrate fully the
practice, along with instructions for shamatha and vipashyana
meditation, which includes visualizations and exercises. A section
devoted to strengthening practice lays out common pitfalls, wrong
views and the way to avoid them. Finally, Rinpoche teaches on the
four yogas of mahamudra one-pointedness non-conceptuality,
one-flavoredness, and non-meditation and the ground, path, and
fruition of mahamudra in relation to the individual practitioner.
