DESCRIPTION
Mahamudra or the Great Seal refers to Mahayana Buddhists system of meditation on nature of the mind and is undertaken for realising Enlightenment. Taught by Buddha manifesting in the form of Vajradhara, its lineage was passed in India from Tilopa to Naropa to Marpa, and then in Tibet to Mi-la-ra-pa and Gam-po-pa, author of the Jewel Ornament of liberation. The specific lineage represented here is that of the Kar-ma Ka-gyu which passed from Gam-po-pa to the first Kar-ma-pa and then through successive Gurus until the present day.
