Just clicked: 70s Trungpa talked about stages of sitting mediation experience as: Shamatha Vipahsyana Mahavipashyana (his coinage?) Mahamudra. Perhaps this was some sort of a reworking of the four yogas of mahamudra? As Reggie Ray said he never 'formally' taught mahamudra.
Although I trust Reggie Ray is right about that, there are plenty of 'TPToTOoD' materials where Trungpa introduces the topic to his students. Several of his students have said to me directly that he was nearly always talking about Mahamudra, if you can hear it (self-secret).
I'm sure Reggie had a point, but this is not true. Trungpa is on record talking about Mahamudra many times.
He talked about it, he talked about Milarepa in relation to it, he talked about the tradition, certain doha, and sketched ground/path/fruition via a commentary of Lodro Thayes Mahamudra song. But did he ever formally teach the practices? Reggie says not.
The union of mahamudra and dzogchen - his sadhana of mahamudra
Well, that’s a pretty good point there. But it’s very much essence mahamudra, would you say? Quite different to other presentations. I love that sadhana.
You might frame it as CTR using mahamudra language like TGS. teaching the traditional methods of mahamudra is diff category.
My impression is that his teachings on all the vehicles are saturated with mahamudra and mahasandhi intimations.
