This is the first translation of Analysis of the Meaning of Fundamental Mind, Clear Light, Distinguishing the Basis, Path, and Fruit of the Great Completeness: Illumination of Intelligencea by the great Tibetan scholar-yogi Mi-pam-gya-tshob (1846-1912) of the Nyingma order. This text on the Nyingma view of ultimate reality is the second volume of Mi-pam-gya-tsho’s trilogy, called Three Cycles on Fundamental Mind, which explains the Great Completeness, the basal nature in which spiritual development is grounded.

Commenting on the text, Khetsun Sangpo Rinpoche (1920-2009) expands on his ground-breaking presentation.

This volume contains a dual language English-Tibetan edition of the third chapter.
