The Natural Freedom of Wisdom (Ye shes rang grol) is a short work discovered in the 14th century by Drimé Künga and later rediscovered by Jamyang Khyentsé Wangpo during the 19th century. This is a text authored by Padmasambhava and addressed to his devoted consort Yeshé Tsogyel. It covers the teachings of the Great Symbol or Mahāmudrā from a Nyingma perspective and, in this tradition, appears to be equivalent to the level of the Mind Series or Semdé (Sems sde).
