Tilopa's Six Essential Points of Meditation - Mahamudra - Kagyu Tibetan Buddhism

Tilopa's classic 6 words of advice for meditation - translated by
Ken McLeod. Ken McLeod has translated the text in two ways: a
version that’s as concise and literal as possible, and a version
that’s slightly more elaborate but does a better job of unpacking
the meaning embedded in those six Tibetan words. The commentary
is by Lama Tashi Namgyal - Shenpen Ösel Magazine - Volume 1 -
Issue 2  


Tilopa (988–1069) was born in Bengal in India. He was a tantric
practitioner and mahasiddha. He practised Anuttarayoga Tantra, a
set of spiritual practices intended to accelerate the process of
attaining Buddhahood. Naropa is considered his main student.
 It is believed Tilopa received Mahamudra teachings from
primordial Buddha Vajradhara himself – the primordial essence of
all things, the absolute Wisdom and Compassion.


May whatever goodness arises from these readings/offerings be for
the benefit of all sentient beings.
