Profound Inner Meaning

The Profound Inner Meaning (Wyl. zab mo nang don) is a text in verse composed by the 3rd Karmapa Incarnation Line Rangjung Rigpé Dorje, who also wrote a commentary (rnam shes ye shes ‘byed pa’i Ti ka).

The text is an overview of the principles of Highest Yoga Tantra, with a particular focus on the vajra body—the way the tantras understand the body and the way it functions—which is the basis of kyerim and dzogrim practices.
