Instructions on the Fivefold Mahamudra

This concise commentary draws from the tradition of Fivefold Mahamudra teachings passed down from Pakmodrupa Dorjé Gyelpo to Drikung Kyobpa Jikten Sumgön, and thus especially emphasized within the Drikung Kagyü lineage. When included in a single session of practice, these five points—bodhicitta, guru yoga, yidam practice, Mahamudra, and dedication—are held to provide a complete path to awakening. Situ Panchen Chökyi Jungné’s instruction expands upon traditional presentations by concluding with specific instructions on how to practice during all periods of the day, as well as at the time of death.
