Prepared by Robert Jaroslawsk from a YouTube Transcript.
This short text is by Dudjom Rinpoche who was held by the Nyingmapa in general to be their greatest scholar and the greatest meditator. He wrote and taught on many different approaches to practice. When we approach the text I think it’s probably useful to start at the very end, at the colophon, because it gives us the background story. I was fortunate to translate this text with his guidance, and he also told me this story which is given at the end of the text.
