Longchenpa, also known as Longchen Rabjam, was a renowned 14th-century Tibetan Buddhist scholar and meditation master, especially revered in the Nyingma school. He is considered one of the greatest teachers of Dzogchen, the “Great Perfection” teachings that point directly to the nature of mind. Longchenpa is celebrated for his profound writings, including the "Seven Treasuries," which articulate the essence of the spiritual path with poetic clarity and deep insight. His works continue to be foundational texts in Tibetan Buddhism, guiding practitioners toward realization and liberation.
