This hidden treasure is a revelation with a rich history that is explained in the book.

This extensive cycle contains teachings and practices for the preliminaries up to and including Dzogchen. Linking to a fresh treasure has the power to imbue us with hot and juicy blessings that invigorate our being and generate devotion and joy. Just as we prefer to have fresh food, these treasure teachings are endowed with a very special quality that has not been interpolated by anyone else, but has come directly from Padmasambhava by means of one of his disciples appearing as a present-day incarnation. The teaching is then spread to people for their immediate practice. “Right now, at present and in the time of future generations there will be countless obstacles for enlightenment and for attainment on the path. To go about removing these hindrances, there is one single method that is sufficient to clear them away and that is to call upon your guru from the core of your heart. That itself will remove every type of obstacle and once cleared away that itself means that attainment is reached, right at that moment.” - from the bookJamyang Khyentse Wangpo was one of the most brilliant minds of the late 19th Century, master and terton.Padmasambhava Guru Rinpoche was a 9th century Tantric master who established Buddhism in Tibet and hid treasures.Chokgyur Lingpa was a great treasure revealer from the 19th century, renown for his miraculous powers.Lama Putsi, Pema Tashi, is a modern day, low-key meditator and teacher.
