Words of the Old Dog Vijay, by Tony Duff,
Practical Instructions on Through Cut by Zhenchen Gyaltshab IV

The fourth Zhechen Gyaltshab Rinpoche, Padma Namgyal, was one of the principal masters of Zhechen monastery in East Tibet, the monastery where Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche made his home before leaving Tibet. The Zhechen Gyaltshabs have always been regarded as highly learned and accomplished and this comes through in the clarity of the instructions in his text.

This particular text is very well known in the Tibetan tradition as one of several texts that are especially useful to anyone who is practising Thorough Cut (Threkcho) of innermost Great Completion (Dzogpa Chenpo).

"The text consists of two short teachings of very practical instruction. Both teachings give a strong feeling of no-nonsense Dharma and each one provides another take on the practice of Thorough Cut. For instance, the second teaching emphasizes the point of letting mind be as it is. The book is ideal for anyone who is practising Thorough Cut. As with our other books on innermost Dzogchen, we strongly advise that you not purchase the book unless you have had the necessary instructions." Tony Duff.
