Padmasambhava

If this instruction is given three times to even a great sinner, such as one who has killed his own father and mother, he will not fall into samsara, even if thrown there.

There is no doubt about becoming enlightened.

Even if you have many other profound teachings, without an instruction like this, you remain far away.

Since you don't know where you may wander next, practice this with perseverance.

You should give this oral instruction to recipients who have great faith, strong diligence and are intelligent, who always remember their teacher, who have confidence in the oral instructions, who exert themselves in the practice, who are stable-minded

and able to give up concerns for this world.

Give them this with the Master's Seal of Entrustment, the Yidam Seal of Secrecy and the Dakini Seal of Entrustment.

Although I, Padmakara, have followed many masters for 3,600 years, have requested instructions, received teachings, studied and taught, meditated and practiced,

I have not found any teaching more profound than this.

I am going to tame the rakshas.

You should practice like this.

Mother, you will become enlightened in the celestial realm.

Therefore, persevere in this instruction.

Having spoken, Guru Rinpoche mounted the rays of the sun and departed for the land of the Rakshas.

Following that, Lady Sogyal attained liberation.

She committed this teaching to writing and concealed it as a profound treasure.

She made this aspiration.

In the future, may it be given to Guru Dorje Lingpa.

May it then benefit many beings.

This completes the sacred, refined essence instruction.
