LONGCHEN RABJAM (1308-1363) is Tibet's most famous master of the
Dzogchen tradition. He was a prolific scholar and poet and an
accomplished spiritual practitioner. He authored hundreds of
seminal texts that make up the core of Nyingma traditional
instructions.
KHANGSAR KEHNPO TENPA'I WANGCHUK (1938-2014) was born in Golok,
Tibet. Khangsar Khenpo began his Buddhist study at eight years old,
became a monk at fourteen, and began teaching at fifteen. A Nyingma
practitioner, Khangsar Khenpo was both a tert n, or treasure
revealer, and a scholar of the rigorous scholastic curriculum of
the Geluk tradition. During the later years of the Cultural
Revolution, he was sentenced to twelve years in prison, where he
continued his dedicated practice alongside other great masters,
from whom he received pith instructions and transmissions. In the
later part of his life, he focused on teaching, writing
commentaries on seminal texts, and restoring and enlarging
monasteries in his home villages of Khangsar Taklung and Payak in
the region of Golok.
The PADMAKARA TRANSLATION GROUP, based in France, has a
distinguished reputation for its translations of Tibetan texts and
teachings. Its work has been published in several languages and is
renowned for its clear and accurate literary style.
“Tenpa’i Wangchuk Rinpoche’s commentary on the four profound
principles of the three divisions of the Great Perfection that the
Omniscient Longchenpa revealed in his Precious Treasury of the
Fundamental Nature is here meticulously translated with great
dedication. Merely reading this sacred treatise with devotion could
fully awaken the enlightened nature of the mind as it is.”—Tulku
Thondup Rinpoche, author of The Heart of Unconditional Love
“For those who are inspired to embrace and practice the Great
Perfection, even one verse of this text can unfold its depth as a
lifelong, self-revealing inner practice. These translations will
change the landscape of the understanding of the Great Perfection
in the Western world for those inspired to follow such a path. I am
therefore ecstatically joyful for what the Padmakara Translation
Group has accomplished as a gift to all of us and humanity at
large.”—Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche, author of Training in
Tenderness
“This is a Dharma treasury by Longchenpa, containing the essential
details of Trekchö and Tögal practices within the Dzogchen
tradition. May every reader’s mind bloom with the wisdom flower of
realization. May they recognize their own awareness and openness
and go beyond all limitations.”—Yingrik Drubpa Rinpoche, founder of
Gankyil Organization
