“The root of all dharmas is one’s own mind.

Convincing this mind of its truth is the ultimate view.

To cut through the grasping of self, this is the supreme Chö.”

—Machik’s Great Explanation

Embrace the Teachings of Machik Labdrön

During the upcoming historic 7-Night Wilderness Retreat in Japan, KL will offer the transmission of Machik’s Great Explanation (Namshe Chenmo) online over five days. Each session will last two hours. If you have an interest in Chö and Machik’s teachings, this is a rare and precious opportunity. You will receive the blessings of this lineage transmission. Don’t miss this unique chance to deepen your understanding.

Machik’s Great Explanation (Namshe Chenmo) is the most renowned and comprehensive teaching of Machik Labdrön, the great Tibetan female master who founded the Chö tradition. This text presents her radical and profound view of severance—the process of cutting through ego-clinging and self-fixation. Importantly, it emphasizes the need to bring compassion to all beings, including demons and obstacles.

Understanding the Teachings

The text elaborates on the view, meditation, and conduct of Chö. It clarifies the unique integration of Prajñāpāramitā (wisdom of emptiness) with direct, embodied practices. By receiving the transmission of the Great Explanation, practitioners connect with the living blessing of Machik’s lineage. This connection offers guidance for transforming fear, attachment, and confusion into the path of awakening.
