DUSUM KHYENPA'S SONGS AND TEACHINGS: A Variety of Songs and Teachings from the First Karmapa's Collected Works by Dusum Khyenpa; Tony Duff - 2008

Kathmandu: PKTC, 2008. First printing. Paperback in new condition.. Translations, biography, and introduction; 80 pages, 1 colour plate. Much of Dusum Khyenpa's Collected Works are taken up with complete sets of teachings on the various yidams of the Kagyu lineage that he received and practised. However, there is a small section containing eight dohas (spontaneous songs of spiritual realization) sung by Dusum Khyenpa. There is also a short text that gives the transmission of a specific Mahamudra teaching called "Mahamudra, the Thunderbolt". We translated seven of the eight dohas and the Mahamudra teaching and put them together into a small book, for the sake of the many followers of the Karmapa and the Kagyu teachings in general. The book contains translations of the following texts: Mahamudra, The Thunderbolt and Dohas two to nine of the doha collection in the Collected Works
