"Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche is one of the most learned and experienced of
the senior Karma Kagyu teachers living today. Indeed, he is the tutor of
the present Seventeenth Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje."
- H.H. THE DALAI LAMA
"Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche has a unique ability to bring forth the central
issues of a text and make them available to a contemporary audience."
- H.H. THE SEVENTEENTH GYALWA KARMAPA
"The Uttaratantra, elucidates the Third Turning of the Buddha's teachings
on Buddha-essence - the inherent qualities and potential for Buddhahood
present in all beings. The elucidation of this potential, emptiness and
luminosity inseparable, is the bridge between the Sutra and Tantric paths,
the view of Vajrayana and the ground of Mahamudra, thus it is an essential
text for all practitioners of the Buddhadharma.
The root verses of the text are in prose and thus require an oral
transmission and commentary to explain their vast and profound meaning.
In addition to the theoretical transmission is the meditative approach
to this text, the lineage of which has continued through the Kagyu
tradition, received first by the Third Karmapa, Rangjung Dorje and
continuing unbroken to the present day. This is what is transmitted here
through the great wisdom and compassion of Khabje Khenchen Thrangu
Rinpoche, the supreme abbot, scholar and highly realized master of the
Kagyu lineage. May all beings receive, practice and realize this."
