These three sections of tantra are the special characteristics of the Nyingma School of the Early Translations. According to Jamgőn Kongtrűl the First: "The Three Inner Tantras are also known as the vehicles of the methods of mastery, because they establish the way to experience that the world and beings are the nature of mind manifest as kayas and wisdoms, and that everything is the indivisibility of the superior two truths, hereby ensuring that the practitioner will become adept in the method of gaining mastery over all phenomena as being great equality." The Three Inner Tantras are, respectively, also renowned as "development, completion, and great perfection" or as "tantras, scriptures, and instructions." According to Mipham Rinpoche, the Three Inner Tantras reached Tibet through six different lines of transmission: (1) As perceived by ordinary people in Tibet, Padmakara, the Second Buddha, taught only the instruction on the garland of views, but bestowed both the profound and extensive empowerments and instructions of all of the Three Inner Tantras to his exceptional disciples, including Sangye Yeshe, Rinchen Chok, Lui Wangpo of Khőn, and many others, the oral lineages of which have continued unbroken until this very day. Moreover, the major part of his teachings were sealed as terma treasures for the benefit of followers in future generations. (2) When the great translator Vairochana had received extensively the profound teachings of the Great Perfection from the twenty-five panditas, especially from Shri Singha, he returned to Tibet and imparted the Mind Section five times, as well as the oral lineage of the Space Section—both of which we have continued uninterruptedly. (3) The great pandita Vimalamitra arrived in Tibet and taught the Instruction Section chiefly to Tingdzin Sangpo of Nyang. This lineage was transmitted both orally and through terma treasures. (4) Sangye Yeshe of Nub received from four masters in India, Nepal, and Drusha innumerable teachings, headed by the important scriptures of Anu Yoga and Yamantaka. His lineage of the Scripture of the Embodiment of the Realization of All Buddhas is still unbroken. (5) Namkhai Nyingpo received the transmission of the teachings of Vishuddha from the Indian master Hungkara, which he then spread in Tibet. (6) During following generations, incarnations of the king and the close disciples of Padmasambhava have successively appeared—and still continue to do so—as great masters who, at opportune times, reveal the profound teachings that had been concealed as terma treasures in order to ensure the supreme welfare of people in Tibet and all other countries, both temporarily and ultimately.ountries, both temporarily and ultimately.)

In this system, one begins by maturing one's state of being with the eighteen supreme empowerments: the ten outer, beneficial empowerments, the five inner empowerments of potentiality, and the three profound, secret empowerments. In the next step, one comes to a definitive understanding of the view, which relates to the indivisibility of the superior two truths. In terms of meditation, the development stage is emphasized - the three meditative absorptions form the structure for this stage of practice, while its essence consists of a threefold process: purification, perfection, and maturation. This is then sealed with the four stakes that bind the life-force. In the completion stage practice of this system, one meditates on the channels, energies, essences, and luminosity. Then, as the conduct, one relies upon the proximate cause, which can be either elaborate in form, simple, or extremely simple, and then attains the fruition of this process - the completion of the five paths (which are subsumed under the four knowledge holders). This state of fruition is known as the unified state of the vajra holder. [TD 2052]ified state of the vajra holder. [TD 2052])
