Lama Tharchin Rinpoche says of this commentary; “(In Jewel Ship, Longchenpa) gives the essential pointing-out instructions on the essence of mind, the ultimate Buddha, our own original abiding nature. It is called The Jewel Ship because it shows how to cross the ocean of samsara in one instant. (He) explains the extraordinary qualities of the Great Perfection among all Dharma teachings, gives a basic preparation for the path… then synthesizes all of the teachings of the view, meditation, conduct, and result of the Great Perfection.” s://www.heartteachings.com/blogs/blog/longchenpas-jewel-ship
