| Join BSBC on selected Monday nights throughout the fall and winter of 09-10 to study Mahamudra text after sitting. During our June retreat with Lama Gursam, we were fortunate to receive an oral transmission blessing of an ancient text: Mahamudra Upadesha of Tilopa, commonly known as The Ganges Mahamudra or Tilopa’s Song to Naropa. To help us understand and apply the meaning of the transmission, Lama's close student John Wenz has generously agreed to facilitate several of our regular monday discussions. We’ll begin on October 5th and continue on the first mondays of the next few months. John will follow guidance from Lama Gursam as well as commentary given by Lama Gursam’s teacher, His Emminence Garchen Rinpoche. John Wenz writes: So although you can find many translations of the text on the Web, I have found one to be very helpful to me in understanding the text, because it includes a commentary by Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche from a series of teachings he gave in Vancouver, British Columbia in June of 1998. It is over 75 pages long, but available on line in their tri-annual publication Shenpen Osel Vol. 3 # 3 at www.shenpen-osel.org. I hope you find this resource helpful.
