Distinguishing the Views and Philosophies

This comprehensive masterpiece by 20th Century Dzogchen master Popa Tulku lays out the entirety of Nyingma philosophy in poetic prose. Popa Tulku was a student of Khenpo Kunpal, who is celebrated for his commentary on Beacon of Certainty--the subject of commentary in our last shedra. Popa Tulku dedicated his life to elucidating the teachings of great Nyingma scholars such as Mipham Rinpoche. He himself described Distinguishing the Views and Philosphies as a meaning commentary to Mipham Rinpoche's Beacon of Certainty.
