HIS EMINENCE CHAGDUD TULKU RINPOCHE-meditation master, teacher and artist-held many great lineages of the Nyingma tradition of Vajrayana Buddhism from Tibet: the Dudjom, Khyentse, Apong Terton, Khenpo Ngaga, Padgyal Lingpa and Longchen Nyingt'hig. Founder of Chagdud Gonpa Foundation and Chagdud Gonpa Brasil, he constructed the first Tibetan traditional temple in Latin American. He also authored several books on Buddhism and the path of meditation including, Life in Relation to Death, Gates to Buddhist Practice and his autobiography, Lord of the Dance.

Chagdud Rinpoche writes in the liner notes, "Traditionally in Tibet, a person would be required to have empowerment in order to learn and practice the chod feasts as these are profound teachings from the Great Perfection. But this practice is known as "t'hod drol" which means that it possesses the quality of liberating upon hearing. I am releasing this recording openly because of this potential to benefit beings in this way."
