The Words of My Perfect Teacher - Kunzang Lama’i Shelung [Tib.], by the great Nyingma master, Patrul Rinpoche. The work is an explanation of the preliminary practices (Tib. ngöndro) of the Longchen Nyingtik [Tib.] cycle of teachings, discovered by Jikmé Lingpa. This famous commentary is a completely faithful written record of the oral teachings he received directly from his teacher, Jikmé Gyalwai Nyugu.
