Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche schreef deSadhana van Mahamudra in 1968 while on retreat in the cave of Paro Taktsang in Bhutan. De Sadhana van Mahamudrainvokes Padmasambhava in the aspect of Dorje Trolö, inseparable from the Karmapa lineage, to help us overcome materialism and confusion in these times. It involves formless meditation, visualisatie, en zingen.
The sadhana is traditionally practiced communally on the new and full moon days, as well as on special occasions.
