| | So it's kagyu :-) the "ngakpa" in your username lead me to think of nyingma (and therefore dzogchen), but never mind... Good to have you here. Yes, noting is quite similar to early mahamudra, while the stages of mahamudra - i.e. one-pointedness, simplicity, one taste, and non-meditation - describe very much the same territory like the four paths and fruitions. From what you're describing, to me this seems like an A&P event. Does that make sense?
