The general practice of meditation in the Vajrayana is to begin with Shamatha medittion and then Vipashyana meditation and to do the Four Common Preliminaries (the Four Thoughts that Turn the Mind) and then to do the special preliminaries called Ngöndro. It is here that one will need a mala (a Buddhist rosary) and a picture of the lineage tree. Each lineage has their own lineage tree and here we supply the one for the Karma Kagyu lineage. 

This Karma Kagyu Lineage Tree is especially helpful because it has lables of who is on the tree. We also provide a key and list of all the members of the lineage tree in our Free Downloads section.

This set includes a 8 x 10 inch and a 4 x 6 inch high quality photo (300dpi) and free postage for $ 2.00.
