Kagyu mahamudra is an important representative in the later stage of Xixia Tibetan Buddhism. Its thought originates mainly from the Tang Dynasty Zen and Xixia Zen. In Xixia Mahamudra, the conception of “rootself ” serves as the core of this theory, and the meditation of “wunian” and “wuzhu” acts as the main method of practice, which is in accordance with the mind and practice of Tang Dynasty Zen.In essence, the Xixia Tibetan Buddhism is the fusion of Chinese and Tibetan Buddhism, which initiates the combination of Tibetan and Chinese Buddhist thought in the Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, and promotes the religious and cultural identification of the Tangut, Tibetan and Han peoples.
