The Four Themed Precious Garland

The text, by Long-ch'en Ram-jam-pa (1303-1363) is an exposition of the "Four Themes of Gam-popa". It includes a survey of the nine vehicles to Enlightenment as travelled progressively through the sutra, tantra and Dzog-ch'en modes of approach, as well as a description of the goal. This it does primarily by expounding the techniques utilised at each of these stages for removing confusion about the abiding nature of reality.
