Garland of Views: An Essential Instruction
མན་ངག་ལྟ་བའི་ཕྲེང་བ། (man ngag lta ba'i phreng ba)
A short treatise that arranges all Buddhist and non-Buddhist paths in a hierarchy of views culminating in atiyoga or the Great Perfection; it presents itself as a commentary on chapter XIII of the Guhyagarbhatantra. It is the only work ascribed to Padmasambhava included in the Tengyur, the canon of treatises, and the one scholarship considers closest to a plausible attribution or at least to the imperial period; Nubchen Sangye Yeshe already cites it.
No edition of this work is currently on sale in a store we have been able to verify.
Authorship note
An early but unprovable attribution; Doney considers it among the most plausible. It is not a terma: it was transmitted through the canonical line (bka' ma).
