Longchen Nyingtik Core Texts
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)

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."

Still, I have only ever explained these things with a pure motivation. Therefore, ḍākinī Dharma custodians, I beg you to consider that and forgive me. Please clear away all errors that reduce the blessing of this Dharma and obscure the great accomplishment, transforming them into great purity! This was written at the glorious Sanctuary of Lotus Light (Pema Ö Ling).

- Colophon: When I, the bhusuku Khyentse Özer, was alone, engaged in the heart practice in the Flower Cave, the ḍākinīs’ assembly hall, at Omin Palgyi Chimphu, at the first rising of the moon in the Iron Dragon year, on the day of the festival that commemorates King Udrāyaṇa of Roruka inviting our teacher and reverentially offering him gifts, through the favourable condition of performing the heart-practice, combined with the pure auspicious connection of the location, while pure wisdom arose as the essence of awareness, coded signs burst forth from the secret treasury of the vast expanse of realization, appearing in the form of letters. Easy and convenient to practise, complete with all the points of profundity, this is a means to purify all impairments, breakages, misdeeds and obscurations, and to restore commitments; it has the power to dispel sudden misfortune and inauspiciousness, to fulfil wishes and aspirations, and to bring about accomplishment. Therefore, my followers should adopt this upadeśa. It is entrusted to the powerful guardians of Nyingtik. Conceal it from the unfortunate who hold wrong views. Athaṃ. Gya.

- Colophon: Thus, this teaching on the most profound crucial points of the sādhana of the supremely noble ‘Natural Liberation of Suffering’ was spoken by the Venerable Mahāguru to the Sovereign Dharma King and the princes in [Samye's] middle-storey shrine room called Blazing Turquoise; it was placed in a casket of heart treasures, and entrusted with powerful aspirations. The time for revelation came in the Earth Tiger year (1758), when I had a vision of the Great Compassionate One, and the ḍākinī of the space of wisdom entrusted me, in the vast expanse of the illusory net, with the scrolls of the symbolic script of the radiant expanse. 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: Amazing! This extremely profound mind treasure, the Most Secret Tigle Gyatagchen, was buried in the depths of my heart by the Primordial Lord Longchenpa, at glorious Samye in Chimphu. I kept it secret for five years. Although now, in this degenerate age, recipients for this profound teaching are rare, in the year of the evil malicious snake, in a tent of white wool, a wisdom-space Dakini prophesied, 'After three years have passed, three supreme heart sons will appear. One will bear the name of Vajra, who is very courageous. One will bear the name of Jnana, who is a lord amongst siddhas. One will bear the name of the five families, who is a master of poetry. To these, you should open the Dharma gate.'Thus, in accordance with the prophecy, at the request of my lineage holding heart sons and of the Madman from Kongpo, a hidden yogi, I released the seal of secrecy of this profound teaching. The Five Sisters of Long Life and Rahula, the Wild Life-Cutting Blade, were commanded to guard it well. Samaya. Seal. May it be glorious for all who are karmically connected to it.

- Colophon: This profound prayer, a summation of the seal of the quintessential vast expanse, was set down at the behest of the protector of the teachings, the Rishi Rahula, who took the form of a monk. To make meaningful the spread of the profound reality and bring to perfection this prayer of interdependence, I let loose this profound seal to the mad yogi of Kong. Entrusting it to this hidden master of awareness who himself has been blessed by Akashagarbha. May its benefit for beings equal the extent of space!

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.

- Colophon: Samaya. Signs are fading. To my only son, Khyentse Özer, this was given by the Samantabhadra of awareness in the manner of a transmission of blessings and realization. Do not show it to anyone, but conceal it in your heart.Thus, in the Akaniṣṭha cave on the twenty-sixth day of the Month of Miracles, at a time when the ḍākinīs gathered during my dark retreat, I set this down on a side of precious paper.This profound aural transmission is sealed with atham. Only this! Only this! The contents are elaborated upon in The Words of the Omniscient One.
