DILGO KHYENTSE RINPOCHE (19101991) was a highly accomplished meditation master, scholar, and poet, and a principal holder of the Nyingma lineage. His extraordinary depth of realization enabled him to be, for all who met him, a foundation of loving-kindness, wisdom, and compassion. A dedicated exponent of the nonsectarian Rime movement, Khyentse Rinpoche was respected by all schools of Tibetan Buddhism and taught many eminent teachers, including His Holiness the Dalai Lama. He tirelessly worked to uphold the Dharma through the publication of texts, the building of monasteries and stupas, and by offering instruction to thousands of people throughout the world. His writings in Tibetan fill twenty-five volumes.

PADAMPA SANGYE was an eleventh-century Indian yogi and spiritual master (known also as Kamalashila) who traveled widely throughout his life and brought Indian Buddhist teachings to China and Tibet.

Based on: Padampa Sangyes renowned and inspiring poem was explained in 1987 by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche at Shechen Monastery in Nepal. Initially, Khyentse Rinpoche was reading Padampa Sangyes verses from the Tingri edition of the root text. Later, he sent for and switched to the Gdams ngag mdzod edition, which he considered to be more reliable. These two editions are: 1. Rje btsun dam pa sangs rgyas kyis ding ri par zhal chems su stsal pa ding ri brgya rtsa ma, in one hundred verses: xylographic print in twelve folios from Tingri Langkhor, in western Tibet. 2.

Trulshik Rinpoche

BY T RULSHIK R INPOCHE

OM SVASTI

Lion of the Word, who in the Holy Land and other places

Assumed a human form and lived, for as long

As six hundred years, his wondrous life of liberation

To him, Sublime One, Long Life Vidyadhara, I respectfully bow down.

To the people of Tingri in Tibet, the very words he spoke,

The Hundred Verses, profoundest of profound,

Exquisitely adorning speech heard everywhere, and everywhere renowned,

Are in this excellent book well clarified and truly well explained

By he who was the intentional reincarnate display

Of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo, second Buddha of Tibet;

To him, Omniscient Unchanging Holder of the Supreme Vehicle Teachings

Whose adamantine tongue pronounced these words, I pay my heartfelt homage.

By way of an introduction to this book, following these opening verses, I would like to say a few words about the master known in the Holy Land of India as Acharya Kamalashila, and in Tibet as Padampa Sangye.
