In 2009, at a time when he was giving fewer public teachings as he was dealing with personal health issues, Rinpoche wanted to share his guidance with sangha using this seminal Dzogchen text and said:

“This text is exceptional because through its precise pointing out the nature of mind, we can directly recognize our own pure nature and bring buddhahood to fruition. Now while I have a short break from all my physical illness, I want to offer a small gift to our sangha with this text. It can truly and profoundly serve and support our Dharma practice. This is my motivation in offering these teachings from my heart with love and care.”

 - Your oldest sangha friend, Lama Tharchin

From the text:

Emaho!

It is a single Nature of Mind that encompasses all of Samsara and Nirvana!

Even though its inherent nature (as Shunyata) has existed from the very beginning, you have not recognized it.

Even though its clarity and presence has been uninterrupted, you have not yet encountered its face.

Even though its arising has nowhere been obstructed, still you have not comprehended it.

Therefore, this (direct introduction) is for the purpose of bringing you to self-recognition.
