| Abstract | The purpose of this paper is threefold: to provide a historical overview of Dzogpa Chenpo (rdzogs pa chen po), commonly referred to as the Great Perfection; to translate and interpret Nyima Bum’s (Nyi ma ’bum, 1158-1213) seminal work, his “Introduction” to the Great Perfection: Eleven Words and Meanings (rdzogs pa chen po tshig don bcu gcig pa); and to analyze its impact on later Dzogchen thinkers like Longchen Rabjam (Klong chen rab ’byams, 1308-1364) and Rikzin Gödemchen (Rig ’dzin rGod ldem can, 1337-1408). This paper aims to contribute to the broader understanding of Buddhist literature, with a specific focus on the Dzogchen Nyingthik (Heart Essence) tradition. Dzogchen remains a relatively untapped field of academic study, and this paper aims to illuminate its early development, enriching contemporary understanding among both scholars and practitioners. |
