Overview
A verse text on the direct practices to realize the nature of mind from the 14th-century Tibetan Buddhist master Longchenpa.
Among the great works of the master Longchenpa (1308–1363), The Precious Treasury of the Dharmadhātu, is particularly revered among Tibetan poetic and scholastic works on Dzogchen meditation. The text expounds the intrinsic nature of the mind—awareness, the vast expanse of the dharmadhātu—as the basis and medium of the endless and unlimited display of phenomenal existence, of both mundane samsara and exalted nirvana. The teachings are laid out according to the approach of trekchö, the practice that “cuts through” the tough deposit of conceptual fabrication and habitual tendencies, accumulated from beginningless time, which obscures the original, unimpaired, and ever-present purity of the mind’s nature.
Among Longchenpa’s Seven Treasures, this work is renowned as the pinnacle of them all, often recited as a meditation practice from memory by Dzogchen masters to the present day. Arranged in both Tibetan and English, this pocket edition is intended for those who wish to continue the lineage of practice and have received the transmission for this profound text from a qualified teacher.
