Longchen Rabjam

The Seven Treasures or Treasuries (Tib. Dzö Dün; Wyl. mdzod bdun) are works by the omniscient Longchenpa which, together with the Trilogy of Natural Freedom, represent the extensive, scholarly or pandita's approach. They were not originally intended to be a collection.

History

Most of the Seven Treasuries were composed at Longchenpa's hermitage at Gangri Thökar in Central Tibet.
