This text, apart from its intrinsic interest as a small exposition of the structure of the Buddhist spiritual path in Nāgārjuna's tradition, is fundamental to Tibetan literature on the subject (its posterity in Tibet are immense to this day).

The oldest source about rGod ldem’s life, the biography written by his direct disciple Nyi ma bzang po, gives us a few of his masters' names, but at first sight these are completely obscure. Nyi ma bzang po writes that Rig ’dzin rGod ldem was taught rDzogs chen by a master that he calls Brag lung pa mkhas btsun Rin chen dpal. This article is an attempt to identify this figure. My conclusion is that there is a very high probability that Rig ’dzin rGod ldem’s rDzogs chen master was in fact Me ban Rin chen gling pa (1289–1368), a gter ston nowadays quite
forgotten but definitely very important in his day. He played a decisive role in the transmission, and maybe even in the revelation, of the Heart-essence of the Ḍākinī (mKha’ ’gro’i snying thig) and two of his gter ma cycles are sampled in the Rin chen gter mdzod. The article includes a biography of Rin chen gling pa (an annotated and completed version of the one found in Gu ru bKra shis’ Chos ’byung).

S'inscrivant principalement dans le courant spirituel de la " Grande Completude " (rDzogs chen) de l'ecole dite Ancienne (rNying ma), il ne s'en est pas moins applique a realiser une synthese generale des doctrines et traditions bouddhiques connues au Tibet a son epoque. Dans ce livre, Stephane Arguillere a reconstitue, a partir de la plupart des sources disponibles, ce que l'on pouvait savoir de la vie de cet auteur ; il s'est essaye a etablir un catalogue fiable de ses ?uvres authentiques et a proposer une interpretation philosophique generale de sa pensee. Le volume s'acheve sur la traduction francaise de quelques chapitres d'une ?uvre majeure de la fin de la vie de Klong chen rab 'byams, illustrant le style tres particulier de cet auteur.
