	Dharma Article - The Radiant River of Mahamudra
		Tilopa, the riverbank yogi who lived beneath bridges and survived on offal, personifies and embodies the virtues of ordinariness, naturalness and uncontrived spontaneity—all of which he extols in his Ganges Mahamudra Song.
		Then naturally ensues Tilopa’s famous three stages of meditative development— as he says in the Song: In the beginning the meditator’s mind is like a turbulent mountain stream or waterfall; later, a gently flowing river; and finally reaching the vastness of an ocean.
		When Tilopa hit Naropa in the face with his filthy old sandal, Naropa experienced mindmeld and dissolution simultaneously; realized his guru and himself and Buddha were inseparable, in their true nature, and always had been; and had his great awakening.

		It was, along with Surmang Namgyal Tse, the largest monastery of the Kagyupa sect, a lineage that traces its origin back to Tilopa, a yogin in medieval India.
		The Lamas of the Trungpa Lineage are the holders of the Surmang Kagyupa, one of the 'eight lesser' of the 12 subsects of the Kagyupas, or lineage of the 'ear whispered command.' This name denotes the manner in which this lineage was passed directly from one teacher (lama) to one disciple.
		Tilopa's prediction --or command-- was that these teaching of unconditional wakefulness or Mahamudra --the great symbol-- be passed to only one student at a time until the 13th generation.

	An article on the Tibetan Tantric Buddhist text, Tilopa's Song of Mahamudra
		Tilopa was one of the 84 mahasiddhas of ancient India and is regarded as the first human holder of the Dagpo Kagyu lineage, having received esoteric instruction directly from the primordial Buddha, Vajradharya.
		Tilopa, one of the greatest Tantra masters of all time, communicates what he can of this vision to his disciple Naropa—not because he feels it can be communicated, but because Naropa is so earnest and loyal that he must try.
		Tilopa then quickly emphasizes that these are all metaphors, fingers pointing to the moon.

		Anyhow, Tilopa saw the countless frightful or alluring sights, he struggled across steep rocky slopes and foaming rivers, he felt himself freezing amidst snows, scorched on burning sandy steppes, and never departed from his concentration on the magic words.
		Tilopa handed down his doctrine to Narota, a learned Kashmiri, and a Tibetan pupil of the latter — the lama Marpa — brought it to his own country.
		He roams at random across the country, calling Tilopa aloud and, knowing by experience that the guru is capable of assuming any form, he bows down at the feet of any passer-by and even before any animal he happens to see on the roads.
