The ''seven transmissions''. They are mentioned like this:
 
The unbroken [[oral tradition]] from person to person,<br>
The [[profound treasures]] themselves, and [[mind termas]],<br>
[[Rediscovered treasures]], the [[termas of recollection]],<br>
[[Pure visions]], and the [[hearing lineage]];<br>
The rivers of these seven transmissions<br>
Will be immensely precious for the Buddhadharma in the dark age.<br>
Profound and extensive, they will shine further than the light of the sun. ([[RY]])
