The dakini Resplendent Wisdom appeared in actuality to [[Jemalamudra]] and said, "Kye, son of a noble family. If you wish to receive even more profound instructions than before, go to [[Bhasing Charnel Ground]]!"
*[[Vima Nyingtig]].
According to this prophecy, Jemalamudra went to Bhasing Charnel Ground, where he met with the sublime [[Jñanasutra]]. After making innumerable prostrations and circumambulations, he presented a boundless amount of [[ganachakra]]s and [[mandala offering]]s. Then he made this request: “Kye, most compassionate protector. Please accept me!”
*[[Heart Essence]], [[Nyingtig]], ([[snying thig]]).
As Jemalamudra beseeched in this way with deep devotion, Jñanasutra bestowed upon him all the instructions in their entirety, without a single exception. Having entrusted him with all the scriptures, he departed into the expanse of space within a mass of light. At that moment, Jemalamudra fell to the ground. As he uttered deep-felt cries of despair, the testament entitled the [[Fourfold Placement]], within a small casket of precious ''sona'' studded with five types of precious stones, fell down [into his hands].

Heart Essence (snying thig). In general identical with the Instruction Section (man ngag sde]]), 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. The Nyingtig teachings have also appeared through many other lines of transmission; for instance, each major tertön reveals an independent cycle of Dzogchen instructions. The practice of the innermost Heart Essence is continued to this very day.
