The next day, Sunday, December 5 at 9:30 am, His Holiness the 42nd Sakya Trizin will bestow an explanation of the Avalokiteshvara practice known as Combination of Great Compassion and Mahamudra.

This transmission must be received live; no recording will later be available. These events are available free of charge.

Do you happen to know the exact name of the empowerment and/or any other information about it?

Yes, it is literally the initiation of the Union of Mahākāruṇika and Mahāmudrā. Here is the full text in Tibetan:

http://www.tbrc.org/eBooks/W23681-2418-13-28-any.pdf

It is an important Sakya sadhana tradition that comes from Sachen Kunga Nyingpo, and ultimately from Mahāsiddha Vajrasanapa, the guru of Bari Lotsawa. Bari Lotsawa was Sachen's tutor and the second throne holder of Sakya.

So, this is more of a Mahamudra text?

Is this the same Sadhana called ‘Ocean of Compassion’ or a different one?
Meditate upon Bodhicitta when afflicted by disease

Meditate upon Bodhicitta when sad

Meditate upon Bodhicitta when suffering occurs

Meditate upon Bodhicitta when you are scared

Completely different. That is from Thagthong Gyalpo. HHST gave the transmission for that a few weeks ago.

Cool, thanks. I could swear it is not Thangtong Gyalpo though, I thought that was Filling Space to Benefit Beings. I'll check my copy.

EDIT: it's credited to Ngorchen Gonchok Lhundrub. This sadhana (it is not restricted and ok to discuss here afaik) contains a "mahamudra" section and in the preface refers to itself as combining Great Compassion and Mahamudra in the preface by Dagchen Rinpoche, that is why I am asking whether it is the same.

Ok, that’s not the actual Tibetan title of Konchok Lhundrup’s text, but yes, it is that text.

BTW:
At the vajra advice of His Holiness the Sakya Trichen, Vajrayana texts are not to be posted or transmitted by electronic means in order to preserve the samaya commitment of secrecy. Therefore, The Simultaneous Practice of the Greatly Compassionate One and Mahamudra with Instructions by Very Venerable Dezhung Rinpoche is available only in paper copy through the postal service.
Granted, in this day and age…

Ok so to be clear though, the initiation is for the text I’m talking about? I don’t mind ordering it if not, if it is the text I’m talking about, I own it and have had the lung, initiation, etc.
