-*In the 14th century these two lineages passed through [[Rangjung Dorje]], the [[third Karmapa]], and his close Dharma friend [[Longchen Rabjam]] (1308-1363), the latter of which systematized these teachings in his great body of writings. Longchen Rabjam was an incarnation of [[Princess Pema Sal]], the daughter of [[King Trisong Deutsen]], to whom Padmasambhava had entrusted his own lineage of Dzogchen known as [[Khandro Nyingtig]]. He is single-handedly regarded as the most important writer on Dzogchen teachings. His works include the [[Seven Great Treasuries]], the [[Three Trilogies]] and his commentaries in the [[Nyingtig Yabshi]]. The practice of the Innermost Essence is continued to this very day. [RY]
