The Natural Freedom of Wisdom

The Natural Freedom of Wisdom, revealed by Drimé Künga & Jamyang Khyentsé Wangpo, translated from the Tibetan by Jean-Luc Achard, translated from the French by Marianne Ginalski, PDF version, Editions Khyung-Lung, February 2024, 35 pages.

 
The Natural Freedom of Wisdom (Ye shes rang grol) is a short work discovered in the 14^th century by Drimé Künga and later rediscovered by Jamyang Khyentsé Wangpo during the 19^th 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).
