The Lion's Roar of the Great Harmony of Emptiness and Sugatagarbha

By Jamgön Mipam Rinpoche

Prologue

Introduction

Namo Guruwé—Homage to the Guru!

The definitive, ultimate reality is the primordial untainted nature of mind;
It manifests in the form of the glorious Mañjushri
Who constantly cuts through the net of the existence arising from mental afflictions
With the sword of reasoning that leads to certainty.
