The Great Bundle of Precepts
The Source Esoteric Instruction on Severance,
the Profound Perfection of Wisdom[1]


Homage to the unspeakable, unthinkable, unimaginable state;
basic space beyond objects, without reference.

This Great Bundle of Precepts on Severance
is written in hopes of benefiting a few.[2]

The root devilry is one's own mind.
The devil lays hold through clinging and attachment
in the cognition of whatever objects appear.
Grasping mind as an object is corruption.

Devils are classified as four:
tangible devil[3] and intangible devil,[4]
the devil of exaltation[5] and the devil of inflation.
All are included in the devil of inflation.

Tangible devils are numerous, however

  2. ↑ According to Rangjung Dorje's commentary, this line is actually part of the following quatrain. In the poem here it seems better to include it with the statement of the title. Also, in the Longchenpa edition, these two lines are in a four-line verse as follows: “[In] This Great Testament of Severance, “Severance” (gcod) is to naturally sever discursive thought, "Word" (bka') is explained as collection of explanations. It has been written in order to benefit beings.” (p. 292)
  3. ↑ Interlinear note: "based on the outer object"
  4. ↑ Interlinear note: "based on inner mental designation"
  5. ↑ Interlinear note: "based on attachment to the reality of qualities"
