I do I think.
“Observing samaya involves to remain inseparable from the union of wisdom and compassion at all times, to sustain mindfulness, and to put into practice the guru’s instructions”. Garchen Rinpoche

For those who do virtuous actions,
goodness is what comes to pass.
For those who do non-virtuous actions,
that becomes suffering indeed.

- Arya Sanghata Sutra

Did you receive the practice from HH Gyaltsab Rinpoche?

No. I received from Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche.

I do believe that Machik Drupai Gyalmo's Amitayus is one of the main forms (if not the main form) that we get in the Kagyu tradition.

Garchen Rinpoche gave it in D.C. in 2016 and we did pujas of the 3 long-life deities (Amitayus, Ushnishavijaya, and White Tara) for him as part of his 80th Birthday Jubilee. This was particularly auspicious because, as many know, Garchen Rinpoche is recognized as a reincarnation of Rechungpa. I believe that Drikung Kyabgön Chetsang Rinpoche has also given this form several times in recent years.

Not sure of the authorship of the sadhana I have, but it's definitely based on that form. I will check when I have the text handy.

You may know a lot, but if you don't put it into practice, it's like dying of thirst on the shore of a great lake. Likewise, a common corpse is found in the bed of a great scholar." ~ Karma Chagme
