Nyingtik Yabshyi

Nyingtik Yabshyi (Tib. snying thig ya bzhi) literally means the 'Four Parts of the Nyingtik'. It consists of the Vima Nyingtik, Lama Yangtik, Khandro Nyingtik and Khandro Yangtik. The Vima Nyingtik and Khandrol Nyingtik are known as the 'mother' Nyingtik texts and the Lama Yangtik and Khandro Yangtik are known as 'child' texts.

Longchen Rabjam also composed the Zabmo Yangtik, which condenses the important pith-instructions of both Vima Nyingtik and Khandro Nyingtik.
