The Essential Amrita of Profound Meaning

The Essential Amrita of Profound Meaning is a collection of twenty-four pieces of heart advice that the Great Tertön Chokgyur Dechen Zhikpo Lingpa gave upon the request of various disciples on various occasions. The series consist of pithy and poetic pieces of instructions written in verse, and together cover the entire spectrum of the Buddhist path to awakening. The advices are tuned towards the specific students or audience who requested the advice, and as such frequently contain personal instructions and heart advices. The advices are mostly untitled in the original text. Titles have been added by the translators, based on the information provided in the colophons of each advice. The collection of beautiful and profound pieces of advice presents a unique insight in the student teacher relationship of one of the greatest Tibetan treasure revealers of the 19th century.
