Thank you Greg, this is wondrous.

Please note it is Shamarpa, not Sharmapa.

Dear Sherabpa, my pleasure!

Shamarpa = ཞྭ་དམར་པ = Zhwa (hat) dmar (red) pa (man) on account of the hat the first Shamarpa was given by the third Karmapa Rangung Dorje.

Lamrim, lojong, and mahamudra are the unmistaken path.
