LONGSAL TEACHINGS VOLUME EIGHT 

This eighth volume of teachings from the Longsal cycle contains upadeshas and instructions received through dreams over a period of time from 1959 to 2007.

The Most Important Point of the Lama Gongdü (Bla ma dgongs ’dus kyi gnad gzer) contains in a few words the essence of the famous cycle of teachings Lama Gongdü, in eighteen volumes, rediscovered by the great tertön Sangye Lingpa (1340-96).

The Upadesha on the Total Behavior of Equal Taste (sPyod pa ro snyoms chen po’i man ngag) contains extraordinary instructions on how to deal with the five emotions according to the Dzogchen path of self-liberation. The dreams relating to this upadesha are connected to the Mahaguru of Uddiyana Padmasambhava, to the author’s uncle Khyentse Rinpoche Pawo Heka Lingpa (1910-1959/60), and to the ancient siddha of Uddiyana, Aryapalo.

The Outer, Inner, and Secret Practices of The Guru Wisdom Dakini (Bla ma ye shes mkha’ ’gro ma’i phyi nang gsang gsum las byang), received in a single dream in 2007, contains the texts of the outer, inner and secret ways of applying the practice of the Guru Wisdom Dakini or Jñanadakini.

The Dream of the Mandarava Cave (Manda ra ba’i sgrub phug nang gi rmi lam) also known as The experiential instructions of Shrindra (Shrin dra’i nyams khrid) is the account of two dreams in which the author witnessed a Ganapuja of Mandarava led by the yogini Shrindra and received clarifications.
