Patrul Rinpoche
(1808-1887) - an enlightened master, who, though he lived the life of a vagabond, was one of the most illustrious spiritual
teachers of the nineteenth century. His principal teacher was Jikmé Gyalwé Nyugu, a great master who was one of the foremost
students of Jikmé Lingpa. From Jikmé Gyalwé Nyugu he received no less than twenty five times the teachings on the preliminary
practices of the Longchen Nyingtik, as well as many other important transmissions. From time to time he would write a text
of his own and these treatises were later collected into six volumes of his writings. Among them is The Words of My Perfect
Teacher (Kunzang Lama’i Shyalung).
