'''Innermost Essence''' ([[gsang ba snying thig]]). In general identical with the [[Instruction Section]], the third of three division of Dzogchen. In particular it refers to the [[Innermost Unexcelled Cycle of Heart Essence]] ([[yang gsang bla na med pa'i snying thig gi skor]]), the fourth of the [[four divisions of the Instruction Section]] according to the arrangement of [[Shri Singha]]. All lineages of the Innermost Essence passed through Shri Singha and continued in Tibet through his personal disciples, [[Padmasambhava]] and [[Vimalamitra]]. 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.
