Summary
A hands-on manual of the Great Perfection: the instructions a teacher gave in retreat, written down so that nothing essential would be lost.
The Luminous Heart Essence is a practical guide to the Heart Essence (Nyingthig) of the Great Perfection, recorded by Tashi Gyatso from the oral instructions of his root guru. Drawing on both the Nyingma lineage of Padmasambhava and Thangtong Gyalpo and the Kagyu lineage of Milarepa and Gampopa, it teaches "the practice of Trekcho common to Mahamudra and Dzogchen."
It leads the practitioner day by day through the preliminaries, calm abiding and insight, the direct introduction to the nature of mind, and the practice of Togal, and closes with advice on how the instruction itself should be handed on.
Tibetan Contemplative Classics, Volume II. Translated from the Tibetan, with an introduction, notes, glossary, bibliography and index, by Rob Newton M.D.
