This meditation instruction on Emptiness was said to be bestowed upon Lama Umapa and Lord Tsongkhapa in their meditative visions by Lord Manjushiri himself. The commentator, Chen'nga Lodro Gyaltsen (15-century) received it from Lama Umapa and Lord Tsongkhapa directly.
Quiet a few features mark this pithy teaching unique among the writings of Guide to the Madhyamaka View. For example,
- Meditation on the twelve-links of dependent origination was included in actual practices,
- Calm-Abiding was taught in a form of Tantric practice, in other words, recognizing the sacredness innate to the body, speech and mind of the practitioner herself,
- Meditation on the selflessness of person was preceded by the meditation on the selflessness of phenomena, or more precisely, regarding the practitioner's body, speech, mind and her Five Heaps.
