Yeshe Lama (Tib. ཡེ་ཤེས་བླ་མ་, Wyl. ye shes bla ma) —
- A famous guide[1] or manual (Tib. ཁྲིད་ཡིག་, triyik, Wyl. khrid yig) of Dzogchen practice written by Rigdzin Jikmé Lingpa. It is said to be a summary of the Vima Nyingtik. "Based on the innermost, unexcelled cycle of the category of pith instructions, it incorporates the essence of the Dzogchen tantras, and presents primarily the practical instructions for trekchö and tögal, along with instructions for liberation in the bardo states, and liberation in pure nirmanakaya realms."[2]
- The sixteenth bhumi, according to Dzogchen. (see sixteen bhumis)
