A short but clear introduction makes the content of the text accessible..
Thus the text is ideal for anyone who is practising either of the two.
Note that, although this text was written as part of Dzogchen instruction, it is equally applicable to the practice of Essence Mahamudra.
Therefore, we have translated it and made a book out of it.
Because it is so popular within the Tibetan tradition and because it is one of the few texts that deals specifically with this subject, we felt that it was a worthy addition to our selection of texts on the subject of Thorough Cut.
The text is short but has become one of the core texts used in Tibet to teach this specific aspect of Thorough Cut practice.
The remainder of the title, "The Essence of Wisdom", refers to the fact that this technique of Preserving Rigpa really is the essential technique for developing wisdom.
Briefly, it is saying that this text focusses on one specific aspect of Thorough Cut practice called "Preserving rigpa".
The wording of the title "Preserving the Face of Rigpa" is explained in the introduction by the author.
The text here is one of his texts on Thorough Cut (Tregcho).
He wrote several texts on the topics of the most profound level of Great Completion (Dzogpa Chenpo).
He was a prolific writer with an extraordinary knowledge of his own and others\' dharma traditions.
