Inconceivable Letters Clarifying the Ultimate Continuum
SOURCE TEXT

This text, published as part of the bka' gdams gsung 'bum phyogs bsgrigs, is attributed to Lochen Kyapchok Palzang. It was found in the Nechu Lhakhang library in Drepung monastery. However, the text does not have a colophon and the content points to an earlier author named Chöshe, who was a disciple of Zulphowa. Presenting an early version of other-emptiness, this treatise presents different topics of advanced meditation based on the Ultimate Continuum. At the end of the text, one finds an account of how the teachings were passed down from Maitrīpa to Kashmir and then through the Tsen contemplative lineage. The account is almost identical to the account found in Kyotön Monlam Tsultrim's work with minor variations.
