The Nyingthig Yabshi was compiled by [[Longchenpa]] to condense the two primary lineages of [[Dzogchen]] practice in Tibet, those of [[Padmasambhava]] and [[Vimalamitra]]. Together, this collection of texts is considered the core teaching on the practice of [[Dzogchen]], and in particular the [[Heart Essence]] teachings of the [[Instruction Class]].

The teachings of the Padmasambhava's lineage are contained in two volumes and are referred to as the '''[[Khandro Nyingthig]]''' ([[mkha' 'gro snying thig]]. Longchenpa's commentaries on this cycle of teachings comprise three further volumes, which are known as the '''[[Khandro Yangthig]]''' ([[mkha' 'gro yang thig]]).
 
 
 
The teachings of the Vimalamitra's lineage are contained in four volumes, known as the '''[[Vima Nyingthig]]''' ([[bi ma snying thig]]. Longchenpa's commentaries on this cycle of teachings comprise two volumes, which are referred to as the '''[[Lama Yangthig]]''' ([[bla ma yang thig]]).
 
 
 
Longchenpa also wrote two volumes of commentary that relate to both lineages, entitled '''[[Zabmo Yangthig]]''' ([[zab mo yang thig]]). '''[[CJD]]'''

'''Nyingtig Yabshi''' ([[snying thig ya bzhi]]). One of the most famous collections of Dzogchen scriptures.
 
*[[Vimalamitra]] united the two aspects of [[Innermost Unexcelled Section]] — the explanatory lineage with scriptures and the hearing lineage without scriptures — and concealed them to be revealed as the [[Nyingtig]] teachings [[Vima Nyingtig]], and also as the [[Secret Heart Essence of Vimalamitra]] ([[bi ma'i gsang ba snying thig]]). [[Longchenpa]] clarified them in his 51 sections of [[Lama Yangtig]].
 
*[[Padmasambhava|Padmakara]] concealed his teachings on the [[Innermost Unexcelled Cycle]] to be revealed in the future as [[Khandro Nyingtig]], the [[Heart Essence of the Dakinis]]. Longchenpa also clarified these teachings in his [[Khandro Yangtig]]. <br>
 
These four exceptional sets of Dzogchen instructions are, together with Longchenpa's additional teachings [[Zabmo Yangtig]], contained in his collection, Nyingtig Yabshi.
