Byang chub sems dpa' kun tu bzang po'i blo sbyong/Full text
Shönu Gyalchok (Compendium of Well-Uttered Insights, p. 216) lists this work alongside Eight Sessions Mind Training as representing supplemental instructions to the practice of giving and taking by means of training the mind in the conventional awakening mind. Although he identifies the cultivation of the three thoughts—the expansive thought, the resolute thought, and the diamondlike thought—to be the core instruction of this work, he does not provide any information on the authorship of this text or on the origin of the instructions presented in it. Judging by its literary style, especially the frequent use of the expression "it was taught" (gsungs, which I have translated here as "the master said"), we can safely conclude that this text belongs to the genre of sindri (spelled zin bris), lecture notes taken at an oral teaching.
