Introduction to Chöd with Oral Transmission with Lama Tsultrim Allione, Lama Live! Ep 114

In this special edition of Lama Live!, Lama Tsultrim Allione offers a profound introduction to the practice of Chöd and provides the lung (oral transmission) of these sacred teachings. Originally received in a dream by Chögyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche, this particular Chöd practice uniquely combines three lineages, including teachings from Machig Labdrön. During this session, Lama Tsultrim shares personal stories about receiving these teachings, explains the visualization of Machig Labdrön, and leads participants through the practice, including the special invocation of Machig Labdrön with traditional instruments.
