A collection of texts and commentaries from the Nyingma tradition of
Tibetan Buddhism on Dzogchen, or Great Perfection teachings, which
introduce us to our most basic nature—the clear and pristine awareness
that is the nature of the mind.
The Treasury of Precious Instructions, compiled by Jamgön Kongtrul
Lodrö Taye, one of Tibet’s greatest Buddhist masters, is a shining
jewel of Tibetan literature, presenting essential teachings from the
entire spectrum of practice lineages that existed in Tibet. In its
eighteen volumes, Kongtrul brings together some of the most important
texts on key topics of Buddhist thought and practice as well as
authoring significant new sections of his own.
Teachings and practices of the Nyingma lineage, the first of the eight
lineages, are presented in the first and second volumes of the series,
the second one of which is translated here. These texts are all related
to the three yogas: Mahāyoga, Anuyoga, and Atiyoga. The first Nyingma
volume includes works that are representative of the first two yogas,
while this volume focuses especially on those belonging to the
“pith-instruction class,” specifically those related to the unsurpassed
secret section—the Heart Essence, or Nyingtik. According to the
understanding of the Nyingma school, the most profound tenet of the
Buddha’s teachings is that within the mind of every being—as its
bedrock, fundamental stratum, or element—lies the buddha nature. The
teachings of this volume each present this essential tenet in a variety
of ways and are composed by various Tibetan and Indian masters,
including the Buddha, Garab Dorje, Mañjuśrīmitra, Śrīsiṃha, Jñānasūtra,
Padmasambhava, Longchen Rabjam, and Jamgon Kongtrul Lodrö Taye.
