The Dzogchen teachings of the Greatest Secret, also known as the Great Perfection, are the words of the compassionate buddha, and among the causal and resultant vehicles, they are of the type that employ the fruition as the path.

This book describes the origin, and gives both short and detailed historical accounts and teachings. They were revealed by the five tertöns kings, the eight masters with the name Lingpa and others.

These revelations and other authentic narrations are translated into the English language by my late father Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche’s and my personal disciple of unique dedication, Erik Pema Kunsang, who is rich in trust and respect towards the Buddha and his teachings, and whose flowers of experience and realization are blooming. On this endeavor I repeatedly throw flowers of praise and honor.

I see a profound importance in studying, reflecting upon and practicing the authentic statements and explanations of the Dzogchen lineage masters—especially for people who aspire to realize the Great Perfection—the Thorough Cut of primordial purity, the view of Trekchö. I therefore request readers to keep these scriptures in the center of their hearts.
