Summary
"Not only was the incomparable Longchen Rabjam one of the most prolific Buddhist authors of the 14th Century, he was an enlightened practitioner who relied on his own accomplished realization to write many unparalleled treatises. The series of the Seven Treasures was his crowning achievement, and the Jewel Treasure of the Dharmadhātu is the pinnacle of them all. This amazing text delineates the practice of trekchö, cutting through to original purity, in the context of the ground, path, and fruition of Vajrayāna Atiyoga. Not only does this publication include Omniscient Longchenpa's exquisite, cryptic root verses, but also his auto-commentary called A Treasury of Citations to accompany and explain the root text. This illuminating śāstra includes many quotations from the Great Perfection tantras, sūtras, and enlightened masters to validate and expound on the salient points. It also includes one of the most extensive explanations of the true meaning of bodhicitta that exists in the Buddhist canon. For genuine trekchö practitioners and resolute students of the quintessential Heart Essence cycle of Atiyoga, this text clarifies all necessary stages to realize and accomplish complete enlightenment in one lifetime, in the bardo, or in a natural nirmāṇakāya pure realm"-- Provided by publisher.
