Instructions on "The Ultimate Continuum of the Mahāyāna"
SOURCE TEXT

This work details instructions on the Ratnagotravibhāga that Maitrīpa reportedly received directly from Maitreya in a dream, which he then later retrieved, in actuality, discovering the text concealed within in a stūpa. Mönlam Tsultrim, the attributed Tibetan author of this work that lived centuries later, thus claims that he copied and edited this work from the original manuscript that was passed down in a lineage coming from Maitrīpa, himself.

Relevance to Buddha-nature

This work contains pith instructions on the Uttaratantra that synthesize the terminology and approaches of the Yogācāra and Mahāmudra traditions.
