Dzogchen is the apotheosis of Tibetan Buddhism and Longchenpa is the preeminent master of Dzogchen and one of Tibet greatest mystical poets. The verses of his Treasury of Natural Perfection (Gnas lugs mdzod) written in the fourteenth century encompass and epitomize the radical precepts of Dzogchen while his autocommentary elaborates their meaning through a concise prose paraphrase and with illustrative quotations from the Collection of Tantras of the Ancients (Rnying ma rgyud bum).
