Historically, this Tibetan woman, a contemporary of Milarepa, was an adept and outstanding teacher, a mother, and a founder of a unique transmission lineage known as the Ch d of Mahamudra. This translation of the most famous biography of Machig Labdron, founder of the unique Mahamudra Ch d tradition, is presented together with a comprehensive overview of Ch d's historical and doctrinal origins in Indian Buddhism and its subsequent transmission to Tibet. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCh d refers to cutting through the grasping at a self and its attendant emotional afflictions. Most famous for its teaching on transforming the aggregates into an offering of food for demons as a compassionate act of self-sacrifice, Ch d aims to free the mind from all fear and to arouse realization of its true nature, primordially clear bliss and emptiness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jerome Edou\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1559390395\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781559390392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Snow Lion Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.99h x 6.05w x 0.75d","brand":"Jerome Edou","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939631890687,"sku":"9781559390392","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_bab6c9fc-4a8e-4bd3-bed1-53552ba9258b.jpg?v=1681442622","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/machig-labdron-and-the-foundations-jerome-edou-9781559390392","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
