Vajra Verses on the Natural State, by Adam Pearcey.
- 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 Akanishtha 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.
