Text In the Lungi Terdzö (Wylie: lung gi gter mdzod) the prose autocommentary by Longchenpa (1308 – 1364 or possibly 1369) to his Chöying Dzö (Wylie: chos dbyings mdzod) -- which are numbered amongst the Seven Treasuries (Wylie: mdzod chen bdun) -- the following embedded quotation from this Tantra has been rendered into English by Barron, et al. (2001: p. 9) and the Wylie has been secured from Wikisource and interspersed and embedded in the English gloss for probity: Within the essence of ultimate truth, [yang dag don gyi ngo bo la] there is no Buddha or ordinary being. [sangs rgyas dang ni sems can med] Since awareness cannot be reified, it is empty. [rig pa 'dzin pa med pas stong] Given that it does not dwell in emptiness, [stong pa nyid la me gnas na] it abides in its own state of supreme bliss. [rang gi bde chen sa la gnas] The majestic ruler of all buddhas [sangs rgyas kun gyi rje btsan pa] is understood to be one's own awareness. [rang gi rig pa shes par bya] This monarch, naturally manifests awareness, [rang snang rig pa'i rgyal po nyid] is present in everyone, but no one realizes it.
