The volume presents translations and editions of crucial mahamudra texts of Tibetan Buddhism. The Invocation by Bä ngar Jampä l Zangpo is considered one of the most important teachings of the Kagyü tradition. It was commented on by prominent masters and philosophers, whose commentaries are translated here for the first time into a European language. with commentaries by 8th Karmapa Mikyö Dorjé Karma Chagmé 15th Karmapa Khakhyab Dorjé Rinchen Dargyä Gä npo Tshepä l Commentaries The importance of a text can be recognized not only by the number of commentaries but also by the names of commentators. From this point of view again, Jampä l Zangpo's Invocation - as the text of a simple practitioner who in his time was not recognized as any particular incarnation - proves it's highest rank. Among the commentators, the names of the 8th Karmapa, Karma Chagmé or the 15th Karmapa speak for themselves. The fourth commentator Rinchen Dargyä (rin chen dar rgyas, known also as karma rat+na, karma mkhan po, 1835?d.u.) is perhaps less famous but still he was a very prominent lama of high esteem among his contemporaries, being not only the attendant of Jamgö n Kongtrü l Lodrö Thajé and a close student of Choggyur Lingpa but also claimed to be the incarnation of Santarak=ita who played such an important role in the Buddhist history of Tibet. The least known is the last commentator, Gä npo Tshepä l, who was also the attendant of Jamgö n Kongtrü l Lodrö Thajé (I was not able to find any information about his life or text written by him).
Thaye Dorje, His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, is the leader and lineage holder of the 900-year-old Karma Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. The Karmapa was the first lama to reincarnate in Tibetan Buddhism, the first Karmapa being born in 1110, more than 250 years before the first Dalai Lama (1392). In 2019, Karmapa is thirty-six years old. He is married and has a baby boy, and his teachings reflect both the limitless wisdom and compassion of a timeless tradition, and the practical questions and challenges that we all face in life today. Dr hab. Artur Przybyslawski - Lecturer of Tibetan language and Buddhist philosophy at the Centre for Comparative Studies of Civilisations of the Jagiellonian University, translator (English and Tibetan).

Praised by the 8th Karmapa and the 8th Situ show him as equal to Buddha himself. Having such a high spiritual position, he received from Karmapa in Tshurpu the title of vajracharya (Tib. rdo rje slob dpon) given to the lamas most experienced in tantric rituals.
