Supplication to Takpo Kagyü
Supplication to the Tagpo Kagyü
Pengar Jambel Sangbo (fifteenth century), the root guru of the Seventh Karmapa, spontaneously sang this supplication when the realization of Mahāmudrā dawned in him, capturing the quintessence of the tradition and his own extensive practice in a few words. Its four main verses after the supplication to the lineage (the traditional last verse of aspiration was added later) contain the key points for Mahāmudrā meditation—renunciation of worldly activities (the outcome of contemplating the four common preliminaries), heartfelt devotion for the guru (epitomizing the essence of the four uncommon preliminaries), and the specific instructions for Mahāmudrā śamatha and vipaśyanā. Brief yet profound and carrying a lot of blessings, this supplication is one of the most widely recited texts in the Karma Kagyü lineage.
Anrufung der Tagpo-Kagyü
Pengar Jambel Sangbo (15. Jahrhundert), der Wurzel-Guru des Siebten Karmapa, sang diese Anrufung spontan, als die Erkenntnis von Mahāmudrā in ihm aufstieg. In wenigen Worten fasst sie die Quintessenz der Tradition sowie seine eigene umfassende Praxis zusammen. Die vier Hauptverse nach der Anrufung der Übertragungslinie (der traditionelle letzte Wunschvers wurde später hinzugefügt) enthalten die Schlüsselprinzipien für Mahāmudrā-Meditation: die Loslösung von weltlichen Aktivitäten (als Ergebnis der Kontemplation der vier allgemeinen vorbereitenden Übungen), die tiefe Hingabe an den Guru (als Ausdruck des Wesens der vier außergewöhnlichen Vorbereitungen) sowie die spezifischen Anleitungen für Mahāmudrā-Śamatha und Vipaśyanā. Kurz, aber tiefgründig und reich an Segenskraft, gehört diese Anrufung zu den am häufigsten rezitierten Texten der Karma-Kagyü-Linie.
