"Crystal Cave" Revised and Reprinted

"All the sublime teachings, so profound--to throw away one and then grab yet another will not bear even a single fruit. Persevere, therefore, in simply one."

Looks great, but are you sure this was Crystal Cave? Wasn't there something by Longchenpa in it?
Although many individuals in this age appear to be merely indulging their worldy desires, one does not have the capacity to judge them, so it is best to train in pure vision.

It is in fact CC. Erik said that he made a few changes in the content so it could be offered without restriction.

Seems like the first teaching in Crystal Cave is removed,"The Treasure of the Lotus C'rystal Cave, the direct instructions of Sri Singha", everything else seems to be there including at least one pretty fantastic teachings of Sechen Gyaltsab, Dilgo Khyentses root Guru, that wasn't in the original book.

"The direct, hard to understand, subtle field of knowing, the Great Path, is non-conceptual (akalpana), and entirely beyond the grasp of intellectual thought. Divorced from verbal ideation, it is difficult to point out and as difficult to enquire into. It cannot be communicated through words and [therefore] is not within the scope of the neophyte (adikarmika). Nevertheless the path is to be approached through studying scriptures (sutra) of the World-Teacher and following the personal instructions (upadesa) of one's Guru-ji."

I found CC. Seems there's actually a bunch of stuff removed though I don't know what the criteria is/was. In any case Perfect Clarity still looks great.
This is available in Treasures From Juniper Ridge though.
