Nyingtik Yabshi
Nyingtik Yabshi (T. snying thig ya bzhi སྙིང་ཐིག་ཡ་བཞི). Literally, "Four Parts of Nyingtik". A collection of Dzogchen texts compiled by Longchen Rabjam in the fourteenth century.[1] These texts are considered the among the most important and extensive presentations of Dzogchen practice in the Tibetan tradition.[2]
The collection consists of:[1][3]
- Vima Nyingtik, "Heart Essence of Vimalamitra"
- Lama Yangtik, "Innermost Essence of the Lama"
- Khandro Nyingtik, "The Heart Essence of the Dakinis"
- Khandro Yangtik, "Innermost Essence of the Dakinis"
The Vima Nyingtik and Khandro Nyingtik are known as the 'mother' Nyingtik texts and the Lama Yangtik and Khandro Yangtik are known as 'child' texts, hence another common name for the collection which is the "Four Mother and Child Sections of Nyingtik" (Tib. སྙིང་ཐིག་མ་བུ་བཞི་, nyingtik ma bu shyi).[3]
Longchen Rabjam also composed the Zabmo Yangtik, which condenses the important pith instructions of both Vima Nyingtik and Khandro Nyingtik.[3]
