The Amrita of the Essential Accomplishment
Written Instructions on Mahamudra
At all times, [I] pay homage and go for refiige at the feet of the
precious guru, the embodiment of all buddhas. Please grant your
blessings! I will write down in brief the profound pith instructions
of Mahamudra, the oral instructions of the sublime guru. There
are two sections here: the progression of the lineage, and the pith
instructions that arose from that [lineage].
The Progression of the Lineage
The Teacher, the genuine perfect buddha, entrusted to Manjushri
and Avalokiteshvara the vehicle of the essential meaning.
The bodhisattva Manjushri emanated as Matinath (Precious
Intelligence) and accepted noble Nagarjuna. The bodhisattva noble
Avalokiteshvara emanated as Sukhanath (Blissful Protector) and
accepted the Brahmin Saraha. [The lineage] was then passed on to
glorious Shawari, Maitripa, the Lord and Great Translator [Marpa],
Glorious Laughing Vajra [Milarepa], and Protector Youthful
Moonlight [Gampopa]. [Gampopa then took as his student] the
protector of wandering beings, the Glorious Vajra King [Pagmo
Drupa], and so forth [so that] the land became filled with beings
who had obtained the supreme siddhi, and by the essential meaning
the teachings pervaded throughout the ten directions.
The Pith Instructions that Arose from That [Lineage]
To make meditation that has not arisen arise, apply (A) the four
preliminaries. To stabilise [the meditation] once it has arisen, there is
(B) the main part, and (C) the pointing out, after which are taught the
dispelling of obstacles, enhancing, and how excellent qualities arise.
