Mahamudra and Dzongchen

The Drukpa talk about Mahamudra and Dzongchen as the same thing just different word for the name enlightenment, when we go deeper in this two tradition we can see that they are pretty similar.


So what's really difference between this two tradition ?


Mahamudra come from Dorje Chang / Vajradara and Dzongchen come from Garab Dorje, the both tradition have there way to be transmit.


For the mahamudra the approach is different with the lineage with the emphasis on the view and also work with the contemplation and recollection and mantra recitation.


The Dzongchen is like a strait instruction to the nature of mind see as the great perfection, not renaming in doubt and remain in the state.


What is the great difference between the two as say the Drukpa there's no difference, the both tradition talking both about the same thing, also the way to transmit is more graduate into the mahamudra when the dzongchen will go strait to the point.



In our time the both tradition working hands together there's lot mahamudra practitioner who are also dzongchen practitioner, at the end we love put label to what is enlightenment but in all there's the same view of love, compassion and wisdom.
