Lamrim Yeshe Nyingpo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lamrim Yeshe Nyingpo, a Vajrayana Buddhist sacred scripture that records oral teachings of Padmasambhava in the 9th Century, transcribed by his spiritual and sexual consort Yeshe Tsogyal. This transcription was elementally encoded as terma by Padmasambhava and his principal disciples. Aspects of these teachings were realised as terma by Chokgyur Lingpa in the 19th Century and then revealed and transmitted.

The Light of Wisdom (1999) is an extended exegesis on the Lamrim Yeshe Nyingpo by Jamgön Kongtrül the Great, one of the eminent Buddhist masters of nineteenth-century Tibet.
