Longchen Nyingtik Core Texts

Shechen edition of the Longchen Nyingtik Core Texts, in 5 volumes

Longchen Nyingtik Core Texts (Tib. ཀློང་ཆེན་སྙིང་ཐིག་རྩ་པོད་, tsa pö, Wyl. klong chen snying thig rtsa pod) — the collection of all the termas belonging to the Longchen Nyingtik, or Heart Essence of the Vast Expanse cycle which were revealed by Jikmé Lingpa, along with other texts written by Jikmé Lingpa and other masters such as the the first Dodrupchen Jikme Trinle Özer, Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo and Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.

The edition from Shechen Monastery Nepal has been compiled by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. The first three volumes are texts taken from Jikme Lingpa's collected works, while the remaining two volumes comprise of texts not revealed or compiled by Jikme Lingpa. The first three volumes of the Shechen edition were based on the Derge edition of Jikme Lingpa's works, and the latter two were taken from various sources. For the sake of clarity some headers have been added, mostly taken from Jikme Losal Özer's catalogue.

Janet Gyatso notes that this and the following text (Dancing Moon in the Water) "were composed by Jigme Lingpa sometime between 1764 and 1767. Each text makes reference to the other, indicating that they both were revised later." (Apparitions of the Self, Appendix 1)

  • Notes: Gyatso translates the title as Key Certificate, the Heart-Mind Box (Barron as A Record of Key Points). It is the principal prophetic injunction of the Longchen Nyingtik. Gyatso writes (page 165) "Jigme Lingpa's principal prophecy comes to him during the revelation of the Longchen Nyingtig at Bodhnath. He unrolls one of the scrolls and finds that it is a prophecy, entitled Key Certificate, the Heart-Mind Box his envisioned text, a special Treasure literary genre called "certificate" (byang-bu), is critical to Jigme Lingpa's interpretation of the events of his life. It names him, refers to his psychological and spiritual attributes, predicts some of his visions and who his disciples will be, and describes the key events in the revelation of the Longchen Nyingtig. It even identifies marks in his fingerprints and teeth."

I wrote it down without concealing anything of the signs and meaning. Great Dharma protector Zadü Rāhula, unwaveringly protect this essence of the most profound of treasures! Samaya! I kept the seal of secrecy for seven years before I wrote it down. These instructions are more precious than my very own heart.

  • Colophon: O wonder! This extremely profound mind treasure, The Innermost Secret Practice of The Sealed Quintessence Was concealed within my heart By the primordial protector Longchenpa At the glorious Chimphu Cave of Samye. I kept the seal of secrecy for five years. But now, although in this evil time of the degenerate age Suitable disciples for whom the profound seal can be released are rare, In the year of the venomous, hostile snake, (This snake year must be the Iron Snake year of 1761 during his second three-year retreat) Within a white ceremonial tent, The wisdom ḍākinī of all-pervading space told me: “After three years have passed Three supreme heart-sons will appear—One who is courageous and bears the name of Vajra; One who is a chief among siddhas and bears the name of Jñāna; One who is skilled in poetry and bears the name of the five families. Open to them the doors of Dharma!” And thus in accordance with this prophecy, When my heart sons who uphold my spiritual lineage And the Madman of Kongpo, a hidden yogin, Urged me to do so, I released the seal of secrecy of these profound teachings. May the five Mentsün Tseringma Sisters And Wild Za ‘Razor of the Life Force’ Guard it well. Samaya. Seal. May it prove glorious for those fortunate disciples with the right karma!

  • English translation: Training in the Pure Realms of the Three Kāyas, an Aspiration and Prayer by Rigdzin Jikmé Lingpa, translated by Rigpa Translations
  • Colophon: Once I was alone in solitary retreat in ‘The Akaniṣṭha Vajra Cave’, a hermitage blessed by the naturally arising enlightened speech of Padmasambhava, when early one morning, I caught sight of Mount Hépori and thought: “Wait…It was on that hilltop just over there that Khenpo Śāntarakṣita, the master Padma, the King and the disciples once walked, subjugated gods and ghosts, and relaxed. Many are the tales that appear to that effect. But now, apart from their names, not a single trace of them remains.” I was gripped by a conviction that in the very same way, everything is transient, impermanent. And although I had reckoned on staying alive, and not dying, for a few years more, what certainty was there that I would not leave for my next life the very next day? This train of thought filled me with haunting sorrow and aching weariness, and a sense of renunciation that was boundless. The memory of Guru Rinpoche, the King and the disciples plunged me into floods of tears. And this was why, at that moment I, Chatral Khyentsé Özer, wrote this ‘Prayer and Aspiration to Training in the Pure Realms of the Three Kāyas’: a prayer invoking and imploring Guru Rinpoche, coupled with an aspiration prayer suitable for daily recitation based on the root words of the way to attain liberation through the experiences of the bardo states.
