PADMASAMBHAVA was the legendary tantric master who, at the invitation of King Trisong Deutsen, established Vajrayana Buddhism in Tibet in the ninth century. He hid innumerable Dharma treasures throughout Tibet, Nepal, and Bhutan to be revealed by destined disciples in the centuries to come. CHOKGYUR LINGPA (1829-70) is regarded as one of the major tertons in Tibetan history, and his termas are widely practiced by both the Kagyu and Nyingma schools. JAMGON KONGTRUL (1813-99) was a leader at the forefront of the nonsectarian rimey movement in the nineteenth century. Renowned as an accomplished master, scholar, and writer, he authored more than 188 volumes of scripture. JAMYANG KHYENTSE WANGPO (1820-92), the last of the five great tertons, was the master and teacher of all the Buddhist schools of Tibet and the founder of the nonsectarian rimey movement.
"The root text of Lamrim Yeshe Nyingpo, a "terma" revealed by the
great treasure-finder Chokgyur Lingpa, and its commentary by
Kongtrul Rinpoche, the great translator in person, form together a
complete scripture that embodies all the tantras, statements and
instructions of the Nyingma School of the early translations, which
is most rare to find in the past, present, or future.... I find it
important that all Dharma practitioners study and reflect upon this
book."--Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
"It is correct that it will be quite difficult to practice the
entire Gradual Path of the Wisdom Essence, so you should use what
is directly appropriate for your training.... "Light of Wisdom"
contains the complete path for different kinds of individuals, of
Hinayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana. But since its title is the
Wisdom Essence, it means that its ultimate practice is
Dzogchen."--Kyabje Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche
