I think you really shouldn't talk openly about this empowerment you got Paul, for your own sake. Also your experience is quite limited when it comes to Dzogchen.

Of course they are different. There are for Trechö and Tögal and every tradition have there own style. But are they introducing the natural state or not?

I believe the Kagyu also say the Jñāna descent could happen by psychic connection due to close past connections between master and student. In DC the master has to be in contemplation to give transmission. These are close.

Malcolm, what exactly do you mean with "Kongtrul's encyclopedia"? Are you talking about this: http://www.chinabuddhismencyclopedia.co ... =Mahamudra? Or is there also some book with that title?

It is standard Kagyu Mahamudra. Essence Mahamudra is considered equal to Dzogchen Trechö. Tantra Mahamudra is what is practiced in all the Sarma schools. Sutra Mahamudra is a little controversial outside the Kagyu tradition.
