-'''Dzogchen''' ([[rdzogs pa chen po]], Skt. [[mahasandhi]]. Also known as [[Great Perfection]] and [[Ati Yoga]]. The highest teachings of the [[Nyingma School of the Early Translations]]. In this world the most well known human lineage masters are: [[Garab Dorje]], [[Manjushrimitra]], [[Shri Singha]], [[Jnanasutra]], [[Vimalamitra]], [[Padmasambhava]] and [[Vairotsana]]. <br>

-Dzogchen has two chief aspects: the lineage of scriptures and the lineage of teachings ([[dpe brgyud]] [[dang]] [[bka' brgyud]]). The scriptures are contained in the tantras of the [[Three Sections of Dzogchen]]: [[Mind Section, Space Section and Instruction Section]]. The first two were brought to Tibet chiefly by [[Vairotsana]] while the [[Instruction Section]] was mainly transmitted by [[Vimalamitra]] and [[Padmasambhava]]. In addition, numerous Dzogchen termas were concealed by these masters and revealed through the following centuries. The lineage of teachings is embodied in the oral instructions one receives personally from a qualified master and holder of the Dzogchen lineage. <br>
-The Tibetan historian [[Guru Tashi Tobgyal]] elaborates in his ''[[Ocean of Wondrous Sayings]]'' about [[Padmasambhava]]'s specific lineage of [[Dzogchen]] in the following way: "The great master is of the same nature as the infinite number of buddhas of the three kayas and does therefore not depend upon the concept of linear transmission. He is indivisible from the buddhas and the pure realms of the three kayas. However, in accordance with how other people perceive, [[Padmasambhava]] is not only the master of the numberless tantras of Vajrayana but possesses a unique short lineage of mastery over the profound topics of [[Nyingtig]], the [[Luminous Great Perfection of the definitive meaning]], entrusted to him by the three masters [[Garab Dorje]], [[Manjushrimitra]] and [[Shri Singha]]. In particular, [[Padmasambhava]] acted upon a prophesy from [[Vajra Varahi]] and then received detailed teachings from [[Shri Singha]].
