[[Sogyal Rinpoche]] says:
 
"I find the commentary by Chökyi Drakpa to be truly incredible. Whenever I read it I am struck by the fact that absolutely nothing is missing, and that the entire Dharma is included here. Whether you are new to the [[ngöndro]], someone who is more familiar with [[Vajrayana]] practice, or even a [[Dzogchen]] practitioner, you can learn so much from this commentary. Chökyi Drakpa has brought together not only a tremendous amount of knowledge about the ngöndro practice, but also the wealth of experience that has been preserved in this unique oral lineage.
 
I always keep a copy of this commentary with me wherever I travel. My students have made me a special edition in Tibetan and I carry it everywhere I go. I read through it again and again, but especially on important anniversaries and days dedicated to practice, going through it as I do each stage of the practice. By now I can read it very quickly because I have almost memorized it. It is always such a powerful reminder, and so inspiring.
 
I remember the first time I showed it to my mother, who is herself a great practitioner of these teachings. She was so moved, she said, “You really don’t need any more than this; everything is here.” She is right. It is a genuinely precious gift for us all. It is the definitive commentary, and that is why I continue to teach from it, again and again."
