The Heart of the Matter

Tsele Natsok Rangdrol

The Middle Way, the unity of the two truths beyond limitations,
Mahamudra, the basic wakefulness of the uncontrived natural state,
And the Great Perfection, the original Samantabhadra of primordial purity,
Are all in agreement on a single identical meaning.

--Tsele Natsok Rangdrol

"The Heart of the Matter is both concise and comprehensible. Not only does it contain all the vital points of the Buddha's words: it lucidly and precisely covers the definitive meaning of the view, meditation, conduct and fruition in their entirety, so that their practice can take effect and mature within our stream of being. I feel that The Heart of the Matter contains extremely precious and crucial advice. Since it is now available in English, I pray that everyone who wishes to sincerely practice the flawless teachings of the Buddha may take its meaning to heart and apply it correctly."

--Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche
