84 Mahasiddhas Practice

This is a little pecha-format .PDF file that can be looked at either on your computer or… what I did…

Was to take it to Staples and had them print it out in color, back to back. What you want is:

Copy 1 to 2 (back to back)

Legal Size 60lb paper (have to reduce from 11x17 pehaps)

Each legal-size sheet has two pages of pecha. The top page of each, fits the bottom page of the next two, and so on.

It makes a lovely pecha, but note: I don’t own or have rights to the images, so these should only be used by those who went to the empowerment or in our close community of retreatants and advanced students. “Advanced” here means they won’t distribute it to anyone else without a good reason.

Drawings based on the Abhayadatta System, by Jonang Taranata (1575-1635), murals in the Ganden Puntsogling Monastery in Tibet.

This is a brief history (in pictures) of the lineage of the Mahamudra tradition for students of the Ven. Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche at KTD (Karma Triyana Dharmachakra) monastery. It can be useful for those doing Guru Yoga. 

 

This is a version that is designed to be printed out in rectangular pecha format -- Two sided. There are six sections, each with two pages. To print correctly, the first two images are printed as shown, straight up. The 3rd and 4th have to be printed upside down on the back of the first two pages.

The next two pages (5th and 6th) are printed as shown (straight up), and the 7th and 8th are printed upside-down on the back side of pages 5 & 6.

 

Then, pages 9 & 10 are printed as shown, with the final two pages 11 and 12 printed upside-down on the back of pages 9 + 10.

If you study the flow of the lineage, you will see how this is put together. Take it two your local Staples and they can do it.
