Historically, this Tibetan woman, a contemporary of Milarepa, was an adept and outstanding teacher, a mother, and a founder of a unique transmission lineage known as the Chd of Mahamudra. This translation of the most famous biography of Machig Labdron, founder of the unique Mahamudra Chd tradition, is presented together with a comprehensive overview of Chd's historical and doctrinal origins in Indian Buddhism and its subsequent transmission to Tibet.Chd refers to cutting through the grasping at a self and its attendant emotional afflictions. Most famous for its teaching on transforming the aggregates into an offering of food for demons as a compassionate act of self-sacrifice, Chd aims to free the mind from all fear and to arouse realization of its true nature, primordially clear bliss and emptiness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52275628409120,"sku":"NEW1559390395","price":32.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61oEez1w-LL.jpg?v=1788089625","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/machig-labdron-and-the-foundations-of-chod-1559390395","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
