The 800th Anniversary of Lord Jigten Sumgon's Parinirvana: Commentary on Jigten Sumgon's Song of Realization Fivefold Path of Mahamudra [ENGLISH AND SANSKRIT TEXT]

74 pp. English and Sanskrit text. Jigten Sumgön or Jigten Gönpo (1143–1217) was the founder of the Drikung Kagyu lineage and main disciple of Phagmo Drupa. He founded Drikung Thil Monastery in 1179. Jigten Sumgön and the Drikung lineage are best known for the set of teachings known as The Five Profound Paths of Mahāmudrā (phyag chen lnga ldan). Some of Jigten Sumgön's sayings were collected by Sherab Jungne into what is known as the Gongchig (Wylie transliteration: dgongs gcig, "the single intention"), a profound philosophical compendium that further developed in commentarial works written in following generations. Some of Jigten Sumgön's teachings were collected by another disciple into what is known as The Heart of the Great Vehicle's Teachings (theg chen bstan pa'i snying po).
