With his vast erudition, he wrote forty volumes of texts, which include classic scholarly texts as well as pith instructions, the latter of which you will find in this book.

"Dèudjom Rinpochâe was renowned for being among the foremost scholars in the Nyingma tradition. With his vast erudition, he wrote forty volumes of texts, which include classic scholarly texts as well as pith instructions, the latter of which you will find in this book. In addition to being a great scholar and contemplative, he was also a great bodhisattva, or mahåasattva, who inspired countless people to devote themselves to the practice of Dharma, with a special emphasis on Dzokchen. Like his predecessor, Dèudjom Lingpa, Dèudjom Rinpochâe was also a great tertèon, or treasure revealer, as illustrated in his root verses, which form the basis of his commentary in this volume. The treasures revealed by Dèudjom Lingpa and Dèudjom Rinpochâe together form what is known as the Dèudjom Tersar - the New Treasure tradition of the Dèudjom lineage-which in turn was passed on to Gyatrul Rinpochâe, as well as many other distinguished lamas who became disciples of Dèudjom Rinpochâe. Within this book, you will find Dèudjom Rinpochâe's pith instructions in the form of root verses, entitled Guidance Transmitted One-on-One to Those of Good Fortune. These verses are actually part of a much larger cycle of treasure texts revealed by Dèudjom Rinpochâe on the wrathful manifestation of Padmasambhava known as Dorjâe Drolèo. Dèudjom Rinpochâe's autocommentary on these pith instructions, entitled The Illumination of Primordial Wisdom, forms the core of this volume. I have provided my own commentary on his root texts with the intention to help illuminate this path of the Great Perfection and inspire you to devote yourself to this greatest of all journeys. My own understanding, which I will share with you here, has been informed and inspired by the core teachings and guidance I've received from my lamas, who have led me toward this path of irreversible transformation - namely, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Gyatrul Rinpochâe, Yangthang Rinpochâe, Drupèon Lama Karma, and many others"--
