New Finding in My Ongoing Research

A Trulkhor text attributed to a 13th-century Taklung Kagyu teacher bears a striking resemblance to the thirty-two Trulkhor sequences found in the Amṛtasiddhi thirty-two trulkhor text, as transmitted by the Shangpa master Tsundue Singhe. Notably, this practice is titled Kālacakra Trulkhor and opens with an homage to Śrī Kālacakra. I am currently preparing a long-overdue article that examines how Virūpa’s Amṛtasiddhi practices—particularly its three principal practices: Mahāmudrā, Mahābandha, and Mahāvedha—were transmitted, adapted, and assimilated into Tibetan Buddhist traditions. Although I have shared many of these insights over the years via my Substack and Facebook platforms, the forthcoming article will present them in a more comprehensive and academically rigorous format.
