He then continued to teach madhyamaka from Fundamental Knowledge of the Middle Way, mahamudra from the Ocean of Definitive Meaning, and Dzogchen from the Complete Liberation of the Three Realms.
English translation by Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche.

Wonderful meditation instruction based on the prayer's verse 13 on realizing emptiness, first in accordance with the rangtong schools focusing on emptiness like space and then the emptiness that is free of all fabrication.
Why it is possible to prove and therefore realize emptiness: no arising from the 4 possibilities. How we "drag" past suffering along. Examination of coming, going, walking. Verse on realizing dharmadhatu. Three Kinds of Confidence. - Talk 3, 6 June 2000 File Audio file (MP3)

How the prayer accords with Shentong.
Rinpoche quotes from Buddha and many scriptures and songs. Buddha: zab zhi spros bral 'od gsal 'du ma byas
Beautiful explanations on how to meditate on MM while experiencing appearances and having thoughts.
When you get a stone thrown at your head, don't be angry at the stone, don't be angry at the hand, don't be angry at the individual - they have no choice. Don't be angry at the anger of the enemy, it arises due to conditions. And the so-called enemy suffers. Don't get angry at the system, it's causes and conditions = they have no choice.
Explanation of verse 16 regarding shamata.
Tulku translators are wonderful! They don't get tired :-)
