From April 1 to 7, 2025, Guru Vajradhara His Holiness the 12th Chamgon Kenting Tai Situpa bestowed the seventh year of the transmission of the "Mahamudra Ocean of Definitive Meaning" — essential instructions summarising the profound meaning of the all sutras and tantras — to students from around the world who practice the yoga of Mahamudra. This profound transmission was requested by numerous devoted international students and organized by the Palpung Institute of Buddhist Studies at the Leela Ambience Convention Hotel in Delhi, India.

Guru Vajradhara continued the transmission of the main practice of Mahamudra according to "The Ocean of Definitive Meaning," which consists of the practices of calm abiding (shiné) and superior insight (lhakthong). By integrating the essential instructions of the oral transmission originating from Saraha, Maitripa, and the ocean of Kagyu siddhas with his own experience and practical examples, he made the teachings exceptionally clear and accessible.

During this final year's transmission, Guru Vajradhara provided complete instructions and guided meditation sessions on the eleven applications within the chapter on ascertaining lhakthong. He offered comprehensive, clear, and detailed explanations of both the explicit and implicit meanings of each section of the text, thoroughly addressing all difficult points and resolving any doubts.

On April 8, Guru Vajradhara concluded the transmission by graciously bestowing the empowerment of Lord Marpa, the King of Translators. This was followed by an abundant ganachakra offering based on the Marpa Guru Yoga performed by all the disciples.
