Revision as of 14:44, 31 October 2013
Lamrim Yeshe Nyingpo is a Vajrayana Buddhist sacred scripture that records the oral teachings of Padmasambhava. It was transcribed by Padmasambhava's consort Yeshe Tsogyal in the 9th Century. 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.
Lamrim Yeshe Nyingpo (Tib. ལམ་རིམ་ཡེ་ཤེས་སྙིང་པོ་, Wyl. lam rim ye shes snying po), the 'Gradual Path of the Wisdom Essence' — a terma revealed by Chokgyur Dechen Lingpa and Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo, to which Jamgön Kongtrul wrote a famous commentary.
