Longchenpa's "The Introduction To The Commentary On The Great Perfection: The Nature Of Mind, The Easer Of Weariness
Called The Great Chariot."
The Great Chariot: A Treatise on the Great Perfection by Longchen Rapjampa. According to the Nyingma School of Tibetan
Buddhism, the "Great Perfection" (dzogchen in Tibetan) is recognized to be the apex of Buddhist thought and practice.
Referred to as the "pinnacle of all vehicles," the teachings of the Great Perfection were introduced to Tibet by
Padmasambhava, Vimalamitra and the translator Vairocana in the ninth century. A central theme in the Dzogchen teachings is
the recognition of the nature of mind, especially its fundamental aspect called the "pristine awareness," or rigpa.
It was, however, the writings of the great master Longchen Rapjampa that systematized the various aspects of the teachings
of the Great Perfection thus presenting them as a cohesive philosophical and contemplative system.
