I've recently been reading Jigme Lingpa's Lion's Roar (SN), but it never occurred to me that the textual style of strayings/deviations/errors, was borrowed from Mahamudra instructions. Another gem from Sam van Schaik's brilliant work on the Longchen Nyingthig:pic.twitter.com/zRaeYGdh5n
It shouldn't really come as a surprise though, because Jigme Lingpa also writes about the Four Yogas (commonly found in Mahamudra but also in some Nyingma teachings) — as Sam notes — in a gradualist text meant for people who can't practice trekcho, which is not gradual, allegedly
He basically quotes Dakpo Tashi Namgyal word for word; goes on to say that it's a teaching for people who can't practice trekcho. Then uses the same Mahamudra text as a commentary on his trekcho intruction. What a troll.
Point is, for nearly all of us plebs on the cushion: gradual/immanent arguments are silly.....just do you practice and leave the 'nothing to do' vs 'work your ass off' arguments to the lineage PR people.
Just ask @OortCloudAtlas 
Of course this same gradual/immanent discussion goes on in Mahamudra commentaries too. I like Gö Lotsawa Zhönu Pal's (1392-1481) sane approach to this debate, described here:pic.twitter.com/434KFj1ugD
