This book  The Kunjed Gyalpo can be considered the fundamental tantra of Dzogchen, a teaching that according to tradition has been transmitted for over two thousand years from teacher to disciple. Its aim is to awaken each individual to his or her true nature: the primordial state of enlightenment, which can be compared to a mirror on whose surface the multiplicity of the phenomena of existence is reflected. Introducing this knowledge is the teacher's task, while understanding it deeply and integrating it into one's existence is the disciple's task: only when this has been accomplished do the traditional texts becoming living words, precious pointers along the timeless journey towards the supreme source.

Dzogchen, in fact, can be deemed the pinnacle not only of all the Buddhist paths of realization, as has often been asserted by Tibetan teachers, but also of the various spiritual methods and teachings of other traditions. The aim of each path, either directly or indirectly, is to overcome the dualistic condition in order to attain the ineffable dimension of the absolute: precisely this dimension is the primordial state to which the true Dzogchen teacher introduces the disciple.
