Quintessence of the Union of Mahamudra and Dzokchen: Karma Chakme and Commentary by Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche
Karma Chakme Rinpoche, the great mahasiddha who lived in seventeenth-century Tibet at the time of the Tenth Karmapa, was one of the most highly realized and accomplished individuals in scholarship and meditation. In order to benefit all practitioners pursuing the path of the dharma, he composed over one hundred volumes of teachings. He is one of the great living masters of the Karma Kagyu tradition. Born in 1922 in East Tibet, Rinpoche is the abbot of Karma Triyana Dharmachakra Monastery in Woodstock, New York, and retreat master of the Karme Ling Three-Year Retreat Center in upstate New York.
