Karma Chakme's Mountain Dharma includes the text as taught by Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche at Karma Triyana Dharmachakra (KTD) from 1999 to 2003, with translations by Lama Yeshe Gyamtso and Chojor Radha. His Holiness the Sixteenth Karmapa (Rangjung Rikpe Dorje, 1923-1981) asked that Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche present Karma Chakme's Mountain Dharma to Western students. In accordance with this wish, Khenpo Rinpoche began teaching this text in 1999 at Karma Triyana Dharmachakra, the North American seat of His Holiness, located in Woodstock, New York. Rinpoche omitted chapters that he considered restricted; these restricted or secret parts will be taught and published separately at Karma Ling Retreat Center for use by qualified students. This work makes the entire contents of Karma Chakme's Mountain Dharma available in English for the first time. (2016-06-21)

The Quintessence of the Union of Mahamudra and Dzokchen presents, in a very concise and inclusive way, all that an individual actually needs to practice in order to attain awakening. This style of presentation, in its brevity and directness, is appropriate for the present time because our mental afflictions are strong and life is short. We do not have time to waste. The text, which is composed of eight songs, presents the quintessence of both Mahamudra and Dzokchen while celebrating their fundamental unity. Written in Karma Chakme's unique style of extreme simplicity and great profundity, it makes what is normally difficult to understand very easy and straightforward.

A Mahamudra Transmission by Kalu Rinpoche and Commentary by Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche Although our minds may appear to us as deluded and filled with turbulent thoughts, underneath the turbulence the mind is the trikaya, the three bodies of buddhahood, that are already present within our minds. The dharmakaya is our mind's emptiness, the sambogakaya is our mind's cognitive lucidity, and the nirmanakaya is our mind's acute awareness that cuts through embellishment and delusion. These have always been there within each and every one of us, and that is what Mahamudra or Great Seal means. - Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche, from the Commentary Single Sufficient Virtue was written by the previous Kyapje Kalu Rinpoche, Karma Rangjung Kunkhyab. It explains how our minds, whether active or still, are always the actual three bodies of buddhahood, and how recognition of this is the key to liberation. In this book, this brief text is clearly explained by Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche, the abbot of Karma Triyana Dharmachakra, the North American seat of the Gyalwang Karmapa. - Lama Yeshe Gyamtso
