Description: "In his first major book, His Eminence Zurmang Gharwang Rinpoche, the head of the Zurmang Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, unpacks the marrow of a crucial teaching. The Ocean of Definitive Meaning by the 9th Karmapa is considered to be the most definitive Mahamudra text ever written. Bokar Rinpoche, a close student of Kalu Rinpoche and the chief retreat master for the Karma Kagyu lineage under the 16th Karmapa, wrote a remarkable distillation of the 9th Karmapa's detailed and comprehensive book: A Concise Commentary on the Ocean of Definitive Meaning: Easy-to-Implement Root Verses for Unlocking the Door to the Definitive Meaning. This essentialized text is the go-to manual for advanced Mahamudra practitioners; the 16th Karmapa recommended that experienced students use it while in retreat.
