A Word Commentary on The Precious Treasury of the Fundamental Nature
From the very first moment that I heard about Khangsar Tenpai Wangchuk Rinpoche and his commentary on Longchenpas Precious Treasury of the Dharmadhtu, I felt a deep yearning to receive his teaching and blessing. I mentioned this to my brother Pema Wangyal Rinpoche and was delighted to hear that a student of Tenpai Wangchuk Rinpoche had asked whether it would be possible for Padmakara to translate his writings into English and other Western languages.
Happily, as the situation unfolded, we had the tremendous good fortune to receive the precious reading transmission of the entire published collection of Tenpai Wangchuks works directly from the mouth of his own nephew and lineage holder, Khenpo Tsultrim Zangpo Rinpoche, who came to Dordogne in the autumn of 2019. This was in fulfillment of a prediction that his uncles teachings would be transmitted to the West. I am immensely grateful to him for his kindness in making the long journey to France in order to teach uswith such compassionate grace, such profound ease and simplicity. His visit to La Sonnerie in Dordogne was a truly wonderful and profoundly moving occasion.
The translation of Tenpai Wangchuk Rinpoches writings has now begun. We have started, in the present volume, with his commentary on The Precious Treasury of the Fundamental Nature. It is a direct introduction to the view of the Great Perfection, a point of entry into the profound teachings of Longchenpa.
We can read in the biography of Tenpai Wangchuk that he had direct visions of buddhas and bodhisattvas, kas and kins, as also wisdom Dharma protectors. We may thus be sure of the authenticity of his teachings. These, moreover, have the wonderful quality of expressing the most profound and intricate matters in clear and simple terms, in language that is very direct and accessible.
In this time of turmoil, it is an amazing good fortune even to hear the name of this book, let alone to be able to read, study, understand, and put it into practice. I am profoundly grateful not only to the inestimable author of these works but also to the kindness of his nephew Tsultrim Zangpo Rinpoche, to the translators, to our publishers, and to our most generous sponsors who have made this book possible. I pray that they will all live long and continue with their excellent work. On behalf of all the readers who will study and benefit from this book, I thank them with all my heart.
May the light of this text dispel the lies and falsehood of extremism, confusion, ignorance, and selfishness. May the truth be established and may beings flourish in the experience of it. May everyone be freed from suffering and from the virus not only of disease but of foolish opinions and beliefs.
Jigme Khyentse Rinpoche
This translation of Khangsar Tenpai Wangchuks commentary on Longchenpas Precious Treasury of the Fundamental Nature is the first step in a project to translate the collected works of this great modern Tibetan scholar. This ambitious task was entrusted to the Padmakara Translation Group by Tsultrim Zangpo Rinpoche, the abbot of Khangsar Taklung Monastery, and Yingrik Drubpa Rinpoche, both disciples of Tenpai Wangchuk (19382014) and trustees of his literary heritage. Aside from the autocommentary composed by Longchenpa himself in the fourteenth century, this is the first and only commentary ever to have been written on The Treasury of the Fundamental Nature.
Unlike the general exposition, or meaning commentary, provided by Longchenpa as an explanation of his own root text, the commentary of Tenpai Wangchuk is a word commentary and as such is of inestimable value to students and translators. Whereas meaning commentaries focus exclusively on the ideas expressed in a text, word commentaries are more elementary and didactic in style. They examine in fine detail the language of the root verses, every syllable of which (often indicated by typographical devices) is traditionally incorporated into the text of the commentary itself. Difficult terms and obscure, antiquated, or dialectal expressions are glossed with more common and up-to-date equivalents, and it is only then that the meaning of the text is explained. The purpose of the word commentary is thus to ensure that the reader understands as clearly as possible the meaning of the root verses themselves, which, even when they are accompanied by an autocommentary, are regarded as the principal expression of the authors message. The pedagogical advantages of such an approach are obvious, and it is hardly necessary to add that for translators, commentaries of this kind are invaluable and often indispensable tools.
