'''Mahamudra''' (Skt. ''Mahāmudrā''; Tib. ''Chakgya Chenpo''; [[Wyl.]] ''phyag rgya chen po''), or ‘Great Seal’ is the [[meditation]] tradition of the [[Kagyü]] lineage which passed from [[Maitripa]] and [[Naropa]] in India to [[Marpa Lotsawa]] in Tibet.

==Definition==
''Mudra'' means that it encompasses all phenomena of [[samsara]], [[nirvana]], and the path. In other words, they are 'sealed' within it. It is called ''maha'' or “great,” because nothing is superior to it. 

==Subdivisions or Levels of Interpretation==
* '''Mahamudra of the sutra system''' refers to the attainment of perfect [[enlightenment]] through the [[five paths]] and [[ten bhumis]].
* '''Tantric Mahamudra''' is related to the inner yogas and the practice of [[dzogrim]].
* '''Essence Mahamudra''' (Tib. ངོ་བོའི་ཕྱག་རྒྱ་ཆེན་པོ་, [[Wyl.]] ''ngo bo'i phyag rgya chenpo'') is closer to [[Dzogchen]] and is described in terms of a meditative practice leading to the [[nature of mind]].

==Relationship to Dzogchen==
[[Jamgön Kongtrul]] said that Mahamudra corresponds to the [[Mind category|Semdé]] teachings of [[Dzogchen|Dzogpachenpo]].<ref>*Ringu Tulku, ''The Ri-me Philosophy of Jamgön Kongtrul the Great'', Shambhala Publications, 2006</ref>
