Recognized as the incarnation of Karmapa Pakshi by his teacher Ogyenpa Rinchen Pal (1229–1309), Rangjung Dorje emerged to be a leading religious figure of his time, combining Kagyu and Nyingma teachings.</br></br>The work for which he is best known is ''Zab mo nang don'', or [[Texts/Zab_mo_nang_don | ''The Profound Inner Meaning'']], which, in eleven chapters, deals in detail with the origin of sentient bodies in existence; the network of inner energy channels; the different types of energies and essential fluids which flow through them; the states of consciousness dependent on physical energies; the alignment of internal forces to the external universe, pantheon of divinities, and stages on the path of purification; and the dissolution of the energies. Although the text is based on the premise that all beings have innate buddha-nature with full-blown qualities, Rangjung Dorje does not elaborate on buddha-nature. This he does in his short text entitled [[Texts/De_bzhin_gshegs_pa%27i_snying_po_bstan_pa%27i_bstan_bcos | ''The Treatise on Pointing Out the Tathāgata Heart'']] and his famous aspiration prayer [[Texts/Nges_don_phyag_rgya_chen_po%27i_smon_lam |''Aspiration Prayer of the Definitive Meaning of Mahāmudrā'']].ts/Nges_don_phyag_rgya_chen_po%27i_smon_lam |''Aspiration Prayer of the Definitive Meaning of Mahāmudrā'']].)
