SOURCE TEXT
One of the core texts of the Drikung Kagyu tradition that is reported to be the oral teachings of Jikten Gönpo that were written down and edited together by his student Sherab Jungne.

- (1) Pure View, Practice, and Conduct
- (2-4) The Three Vows
- (5) Three Dharma Wheels
- (6) Dependent Origination
- (7) The Resultant Stage of Buddhahood
